Shadow of a Daughter

When I was lost, you couldn't be found.

When you were wrong, I never stood my ground.

I walked away to save a fight,

Although, I knew that wasn't right.

When I needed love, you were never there.

Too wrapped up in yourself to even care. 

You put me down; you made me cry.

You left me but never told me why.

I needed you; I wanted you; I loved you!

And all you did was hurt me; now I hate you. 

I have problems, just like you.

But they're not important enough to listen to.

I gave you more chances and you let me down.

You broke my trust, treated me like a clown. 

So, I had to walk away and leave it all behind.

All I tried so hard my full life to find.

I thought you loved me; I thought you cared. 

I thought maybe for once you'd put me first. 

But after all, ... Why?

I was nothing to you!

I was JUST your daughter.
