daddy daddy, why'd you leave?
it seems now without you, i'm forced to face my fears
it tearing me down, the boogy man has now become set free
im cowering from the only thing to ever haunt me
look what you've left behind
you're little girl who use to shine
i use to be a bright star if you were beside
me
but now i look into my own eyes and see
that theres no one to ward off the darkest dreams
that has escaped from a prision made of glass
shards cut deep as i crash to my knees
draw my spirit into my self
close my eyes and face my fears
shadows play as your shilouette
a game to bring me from my safe place
they laugh as i call your name
they say you were never here to stay
i hold my tears, its crystal clear
the shadow takes the shape of him
daddy, he stole your name
makes me say hes the one
and it hurts
his touch burns it tingels
it set aflame picture in my head
it eats up memories of you and me
daddy, daddy, whyd you leave?
this creatures taken over me and i cant screem
im holding my self in but hes pulling me out
shadows play on my eyes
faces that couldnt be there
im so scared, theres no pain to share
im holding it all at once
i open my eyes wide
the star explodes, it dies
baby girl no more, this emploding
has burned me

cant match his memories but i can protect too
live up to this daddy name those fears let loose
