Only The Little Girl Without A Dad

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 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
