I didn't know you, and I still barely do
without you, though, I never would have breathed
you say you love me, but you hardly know me
I feel like I'm supposed to love you
but we only just met
you created me and made me who I am
for many years, you watched from the shadows
I almost believed you'd died
or maybe I just wished you had
because I was the little girl without a dad
I wondered what you were like
thought about why you weren't around
when we first met I was frightened
I was afraid to let you down
maybe you'd dreamed I was better then I was
Because, to me,
I was only the little girl without a dad
you dropped in with a new baby girl
your new love
I was angry and hurt
because she had what I didn't
she was a little girl with a dad
then you got married and had another
once more I was pused away
nine years I waited only to be ignored
the days I saw you
were joyful and fun
but when I went home to wait to see you again
all those days in between
I, again, became the little girl without a dad
everytime you said you'd call
I waited by the phone
when it didn't ring
my heart broke
over and over
because I was the little girl without a dad
I tried to believe it was okay
I tried to believe it was okay
I told you it was
but everywhere around me
were other little girls with their dads
I became angry and sad
I became uniterested in life
knowing inside I was the little girl without a dad
over time I grew up
I eventually moved on
I got to know you better
as the years have passed
but I have never forgotten
I was the little girl without a dad
