Daddy

I know you love me, daddy

you'll love me till the end

I know that means forever,

I know your love transcends

I know you love me, daddy

but your actions--they don't show me

they make me ponder what love is

they make me feel all lonely

I know you love me, daddy

I know that you're just scared

I know you don't know how I'll act

if you showed me that you cared

I know you love me, daddy

it hurts that we aren't close

I always try to talk more

but you're "busy," I suppose

I know you love me, daddy

but soon I move away

and with that, dad, I pray to God

you wish that I would stay.
