Daddy's Little Girl

(album: All Fall Down - 1998)

She used to stand with a knife in her hand at the foot of his bed
She wanted him dead for what he stole from her when she was only 10
Now it's 4 years later and it happens much too, much too often
Her bed he visits when he's drunk and it feels more like a coffin

And if she gouged out of his fucking eyes would it help him see
All the pain, the shame, and the fucking misery
She hates this fucking world, she's daddy's little girl

Now she's a wreck, we can connect, I don't know what she's feeling
She concealed their little secret, but it's more than her body he's stealing
I wanted to die the day she cried in my arms when she broke down
She flinches when I touch her and she don't want me around

And if she gouged out of his fucking eyes would it help him see
All the pain, the shame, and the fucking misery
She hates this fucking world, she's daddy's little girl

She used to stand with a knife in her hand at the foot of his bed
