My daddy left me tonight

After 14 years of friendship with him
After fourteen years of fatherly love
They both were at it again
And finally push came to shove

I couldn’t take it any longer
I always hid behind my door
They look at each other with hatred
When they should look and adore

I thought all of this was over with
One day it’s “I love you”, different the next
The marriage papers were supposed to be special
Now it’s like you took it out of context

I swear she just kissed him yesterday
Now today they’re at each others throats
If you both could see my tears run down my cheek
You’d have to put on your rain coats

But see praying worked after all
Things were just settling down
But for some reason it started back up again
Once again my smile turned to a frown

Things were yelled that shouldn’t have been
I bet you both went your separate ways and cried
But it is I whose heart is on fire
Because I can tell your guys’ love has died

Please just be honest and admit
Your love only lasted a few short years
You always claimed life here was like hell
We’ve had fewer smiles then we did tears

When mom and I returned home
I could tell this time it was worse
I just wanted to scream at them both
Let’s take this situation and reverse!

I can’t believe daddy left me tonight
There was no note explaining his absence
Oh daddy tell me why?
You know I was in love with your presence

You’ve put our memory to shreds
I was such a daddy’s little girl
I felt like I was on your shoulders
Looking down on the whole world

Daddy your morning and goodnight kisses
They meant more than you’ll ever know
My bed will be lonely tonight
Because I’ll sit and watch for you out the window

I know where you are staying at
But I’m afraid to meet you at the place
Because daddy my anger with you right now
Would make me hit you in the face

Life now will never be the same
You’ve messed up everything I had planned
This summers vacation now a dream
This Christmas now is canned

When everyone hears me weeping
When everyone asks if I’m alright
I don’t know how I’ll be able to spit out
“My daddy left me tonight”
