Daddy Lyrics by Anouk

Paradise and Back Again

0

Awkward things come to an end
That's why I blocked my heart
And chained it to the wall
Cause you haven't been there at all
In time my house became a place
Where the wrongs were right
And the rights were wrong
With too much drama and pain
Now tell me are you proud of who I am
Can you please help me understand
Why you couldn't love me back
Forgiveness ain't that hard to grasp
Daddy I need to hear you say:
I, I never meant to hurt you
Baby girl, you've got to believe me
I never meant to break your heart
I just wanted to love you
Somehow I didn't know how to
I still blame myself
Unable to receive the love
And affection from you
Like a daughter should
It did far more damage than good
Holding grudges are a waste
Life is way too short
And I just want to let go
Of all the things that I can't change
Now tell me are you proud of who I am
Can you please help me understand
Why you couldn't love me back
Forgiveness ain't that hard to grasp
Daddy, I need to hear you say:
I, I never meant to hurt you
Baby girl, you've got to believe me
I never meant to break your heart
I just wanted to love you
But somehow I didn't know how to
I still blame myself
If I had just one more day
No more promises were made
I would hold you tight
And tell you I love you anyway
If I had just one more day
No more promises were made
I would hold you tight
And tell you I love you anyway
I never meant to hurt you
Baby girl, you've got to believe me
I never meant to break your heart
I just wanted to love you
But somehow I didn't know how to
I still blame myself
You should have been there
You should have been there
For me
For me
For me
You should have been there for me
Where were you baby
