Her Hero (This is actually a song)

by AlyssaBrook   Oct 20, 2007


She was once his little girl
Not knowing all he did
All the lies he fed her with,
A different story each night
Her hero, he was never there
And yet she loved him so
Adoring the nothing he gave to her
Fearing the days he stayed might go

[Chorus]
Daddy, do you remember,
That one day years ago?
Carelessly you made a life
When you so ignorantly conceived
Father, I don't love you
You're not my hero now
All those years of blindness
Now I can finally see
The truth now revealing itself
You were never around for me

I'm a young woman now
I know what's good and true
Daddy, looking at all you did,
Nothing was ever right
You'd yell at Mother
and you left her, alone for years
How could she take you back?
How did she not see?

[Chorus]

Father you don't know me
You never really did
All this time; (you had enough)
To learn of your little kid
You took advantage of the clock
You used it for yourself
Daddy, do you regret
Not taking the chance you had?

[Chorus]

Sir, you're not my father
You're a man living down the hall
Mister, do you know my face?
Have you the slightest clue who I am?
I am not your daughter,
You are not my father
Two separate beings who chanced to meet
Two truths who went their ways

[Chorus]

As luck may have it,
He died, an old man
He left behind a grown woman
Who was once his biggest fan
Up in Heaven, there's one more angel
Staying close to her side
Now that it's all over, he regrets
Not being there for his daughter
He left behind
A girl, without a father

[Chorus x2]
