Daddy

Daddy I see the way you look at me
The way your eyes yell at me instead of your mouth
I did something good today, arn't you proud of me?
I don't expect a "good job!" or a "I'm so proud of you"
Because all my life, I've never heard either one.

I try to make you proud and I try to make you happy
But everything I do is another mistake to you
You've told me you loved me once in a while
But I'm not so convinced
There is nothing there
Nothing to feel
Nothing to grasp
Hear me out
I try to make you proud I try to make you happy

Daddy I see the way you look at me
Instead of hugging me and loving me as your only daughter
