Daddy’s Girl
Tap tap he isn’t listening
but I suppose he never does
If it is not about him
he isn’t really fussed
I’m sorry love I missed that
no I wasn’t being rude
No it’s just that it’s important
excuse after excuse
The things he says are negative
always a fault of mine
I’m walking on these egg shells
while he walks in circles wasting time
I know you didn’t mean it
it just made me feel so low
Why are you upset now
no I love you please don’t go
Overreact and then shut down
he always makes us late
Being social is exhausting
he finds it hard to keep a mate
Hey love how are you doing
are you having a good time?
I just thought we could head off soon
no nothing’s wrong I’m fine
My father doesn’t make much
no line of money to his name
But he has left a legacy and
I don’t know who’s to blame
So many of my qualities
in my blood and in my clutch
What if you are the reason
why I hate myself so much
My pasty white and freckled skin
how I can’t get out of bed
The way I’m always worried
and trapped inside my head
When I realised all the ways
I mirrored who you are
It felt like seeing for the first time
an everlasting scar
Every girl marries her father
isn’t that what they say?
Well you’re nothing like him darling
but I am in every way.
