Dogwood – Daddy Dearest lyrics

What did she do to you sir?
Can't you see, that you are twice the size of her?
It's not like she can stand up, when you beat her down with your love.
Turn around and hear his screams as you toss his mom around,
He sees his loving father beating mommy down.
You threw me into the wall and you told me to shut up, that's what ignited me and then I blew up.

Why can't I forget?

Daddy dearest, I love you, please return back. Christian family, we once were, do you still blame me?
Daddy dearest, you left me, nowhere to be found.
Christian family, we still are, forgive and forget.

Dad you are still I my prayers, even though, when I needed you, you weren't there.
Your daughter would also like to, once again just be called a princess by you.
She cried so hard that she couldn't breathe, but you didn't even know,
And if you did, you were too involved in yourself to show.
So I went to comfort her and see if she was okay.
That's when you decided to leave us, then you ran away!

Why can't I forget?

Daddy dearest, you weren't there, when she cried to you.
Christian values, you taught me, what a hypocrite.
Daddy dearest, my mentor, I still weep for you,
Christian father, maybe so, now my dad is gone. Now my dad is gone.

So long, no good-byes from you, did I hear at all.
Father now I wish you well, in this world of morals.
Daddy dearest, I love you, please help return it back.
Christian family, we once were, do you still blame me?
Daddy dearest, you left me, nowhere to be found.
Christian family, we still love, forgive and forget.
