Daddy is that what you wanted?
To be a father to your children?
To take care of them when their alone?
To wipe the tears from their sorrowful eyes?
Did you really think 5yrs on,
I wouldn't of thought of you?
I never once was ungrateful,
Yet you called me everything untrue?
It was my 15th birthday this year?
Thanks for forgetting.
No text, no card not even a phone call.
Didn't know it cost so much.
Your not the only one who forgot,
Some of my best mates forgot to.
Doesn't matter anyway,
They still never said, Happy Birthday.
You always thought that shouting,
Made everything ok.
You thought i would accept that slapper,
Not even if today was my last day.
But thanks for forgetting me,
I didn't know how much i meant.
You never forgot my brother or sister,
But hey doesn't matter then.
Maybe you'll remember me,
Another 5 years down the line,
Just remember i won't wait forever,
And especially not this time.
You really stuck the knife in,
Sorry if my back hurt your knife,
But you see its hard to come to terms with,
When I'm crying myself to sleep at night.
So a month later you finally send a present,
You say sorry you forgot,
I didn't want a present a month late,
I wanted a text, phone call, card on the day.
But never mind because you don't really care,
As long as I'm not in your future,
None of you past, may need repair.
So just thought I'd say sorry John,
Born on August the 1st,
Sorry i was so irrelevant to you,
But I am no longer your daughter,
And i hope those words bloody hurt!
