If You Can.

I can't believe that all those years
Laying in the dark all alone.
Crying myself to drift away,
And knowing you're not yet home.
There's no denying that I was
A despondent little girl.
Daddy didn't want me anymore;
She didn't want me in your world.

How she despised me so much,
And she couldn't stand my ways.
I was just a small confused child,
And daddy was always away.
She knocked me to the ground,
But I just got back up on my feet.
She thinks she could bring me down
But she can't control me.

You don't know how blind you are;
Didn't know your little girl was hurt.
The antagonist was in your face,
And she was lower then dirt.
I cried night and day, day and night
So you could notice all of my pain.
You just didn't care no matter what;
It felt like it always would rain.

In my room, I locked myself
So no one can come in my heart.
I didn't know Jesus so well, But
I knew He wouldn't let me fall apart
Daddy, I know you love me,
Believe me I know it's so true.
Why didn't you see the real her;
I'm the one that saw right through.

I saw evil in her piercing eyes,
And you couldn't see the fire.
Every day I saw the same thing;
You saw love, I saw a dead lier.
Thanks to her my life fell apart;
I have her to thank for my tears.
I hope you and her are happy,
Because I thank God, I'm here.

I thank Him I'm not in that house,
And in that dreadful life anymore.
I thank God for saying me,
And for keeping me off the floor.
Daddy, I'm sorry to telling you this,
And I hope you understand.
I can't have you in my life,
But don't forget me if you can.
