Daddy, I was wrong

by Sherry Lynn   Jul 24, 2004


Daddy I screwed up again,
I went against all you taught me,
And I let someone in.
Daddy, I’m sorry, I know that it was wrong.
I now know why you told me, that I should never trust anyone.

Daddy, he hurt me, I must admit.
I thought I could beat it,
Thought that I had this heart licked.
But I was wrong daddy, and now the pain is so strong.
Daddy, tell me please, how do I carry on.

I loved him daddy, with all my heart,
I would have given him anything, and yet he tore me apart.
Why did I do it, why didn’t I listen?
The most valuable lesson you taught me I just ignored.

I thought I knew it all,
Thought I was different,
I thought that I had control of my life,
And yet I was again proven wrong.

I lost control of everything,
All the things that were important to me.
I turned my back on my desires, and yes even my dreams,
I turned my back for another man, one that just about killed me.

He never touched me daddy, not like that,
He just broke my heart, my will, and yes daddy,
He even broke my unbreakable spirit.

I used to be so full of life,
So daring, and exciting.
I used to take on the world daddy, nothing was going to stop me.
Now I find that I can barely make it out my own front door.
I want to die, daddy, I want to crawl in a hole and hide.

How could he be so cruel, how could he wreck my world?
How did I let my guard down, you taught me better,
And now my heart has a huge wound.
I don’t think it’ll mend,
Not anytime soon, and to be honest daddy,
I don’t think that I’ll ever be the same again,
Not like I was when I was your little girl.
I’m sorry daddy, and I’ll never do it again.
I’ll never again let some man in.
