I don't understand

I don't understand
why you left me like this
left me alone to deal with the world
I don't understand
why you let it happen
did you even think about me
everytime you took a drink
I don't understand
where I went wrong
why didn't you listen to me
when I said I hated you drinking
I don't understand
why you didn't care
about what happened to you
did jail not help?
I don't understand
the times we went out
you said just one beer I'll be fine
but after six is was not
I don't understand
how you just weren't thinking
when you got into that car
and just started driving
I don't understand
why you didn't notice
the how drunk you were
and that other car coming toward you
I don't understand
what really happened that night
it was after Christmas
but you never called then
I don't understand
your intentions then
you not only forgot about me
but your other two sons as well
I don't understand
I thought I was your baby girl
your pride and joy
your everything
I don't understand
why you're still hanging on
lying in that hospital bed
for over two years now
I don't understand
what you did to me
I am still mad at you
for not thinking of me
daddy's little girl
I don't understand
seeing you now
I guess I have to say
beer was more important
than daddy's little girl
I just don't understand
