Why is it me,
That you have chosen?
Why must I be the one,
To handle your every need?
From you there are three,
Three to choose from,
Can you tell me,
Why did you pick me?
I’m flattered,
Please don’t get me wrong,
But daddy please,
Tell me, after all this time,
After all these years,
Why do you suddenly trust me?
I screwed up when I was young,
I took everything I had,
And then I went on the run.
I ran from life,
From the joys and the pain.
I ran from you, and yes, even mom.
So please daddy, tell me,
Why me, after all things that I done?
I make it a habit, daddy,
To take on to much,
I find that I push myself,
More than anyone else.
I demand more than most,
And I never admit that I’m wrong.
I fight my battles, all the way through,
I never back down, even when I should.
Daddy, I’m not like the others,
I’m totally different than the rest,
It’s my life daddy, that I have made a mess.
I couldn’t hold my marriage together,
Heck, I even dropped out of school.
I have been known to cross the lines,
And always at the wrong times.
I ran once before,
I made a beeline for the door,
It wasn’t all that long ago,
Daddy, I’m sorry but I couldn’t
Take being hit by him anymore.
I know I should have fought,
But daddy, I was just to scared.
I had my chance, to make it work,
I could have demanded more,
But instead I walked out the door.
I know you wanted me taken care of,
I know that you think I need a man,
I know you think that I screwed up,
So then I ask, daddy, why did you pick me again?
Is cause I’m the one that wouldn’t give up?
I knew that you wanted me to carry on?
Is it because since my divorce,
You have realized that yes I am strong?
Tell me daddy, why me and not Patti?
