There was a little girl
She used to do everything with her daddy
They were inseparable
They were best friends
She was always smiling or laughing
When they were together
That was back when he was around
This little girl isn't so little anymore
In fact she is a sophomore in high school
She has her good and bad days
It seems like she has more bad then good days
She will be perfectly fine one minute
Then the next minute she gets to thinking
No one is ever around when she needs to talk
She cries herself to sleep almost every night
Because he isn't around anymore
She feels like she is sinking into the sand
And that no one can help her out
Everyone gave up on her
She can't help it that she is stubborn
You just have to give her time
She misses her daddy so much
More than anything in the world
She hasn't been the same person since that day
Awaken suddenly to hear the news
That her daddy was in an accident and died
It is so hard for the girl
She wanted to cry but couldn't
She was just in such shock
And she thought she had to be strong
Trying to be strong for her momma and brother
Then the day of the visitation came around
She was finally ready to walk up to the casket
As she was walking, she couldn't believe it
She didn't expect to be in this situation so soon
She finally got up to the casket
And she lost it
She just burst into tears
When she saw him just laying there
Cold, lifeless, helpless
She just wanted him to wake up
But he didn't budge
That day was so painful
She couldn't bare to see his body just laying there anymore
Turning her back and running away crying
A dagger was stabbed in her heart that day
She just wanted him back in her life
But that wasn't going to happen
Replaying the events over and over again
Not by choice
She has wanted to end all the pain
But that would only hurt people more
The ones that still loved and cared about her
She thinks of the future
The future that he won't be a part of anymore
She still can't believe he isn't there with her
She can't imagine getting married anymore
Because he was supposed to be around
To walk her down the isle
Her wedding day is supposed to be happy
Well she doesn't know how she will be happy
When he won't be there to give her away
Instead it will have to be someone else
It just won't be the same without him
But even though this girl isn't little anymore
She will always be her daddy's little girl
Ever since he was taken from her life
Within seconds she lost everything
She is lost and confused about everything
No one really understands her like he did
All she wants anymore is to have him back
To tell him that she loves him so much
She didn't get the chance to that night
This breaks her heart every time
She can't seem to move on
It's like she is stuck in the past
But she tries so hard to live in the present
And to get on with living her life
But she keeps looking in the rear view mirror
Wishing she could change the sequence of events of that night
Then he could be right beside her
Listening to her every word
Protecting her from the world
But as much as she wants that to happen
She knows better
Each day that passes is another without him
And it isn't any easier than the day before
Her daddy means everything to her
No one can ever replace him or be him
No matter how hard they try
She tries to remember all the good days
But they are drifting away
She wishes that she could see her daddy
It's tearing her apart on the inside
To know that he isn't coming back
And she can't let her pain show
People would show her sympathy
And she doesn't want that to happen
She hates when people say they are sorry
They have no idea what she goes through
Without him
Avoiding the situation
Pretending to be happy everyday
She just wants to see her daddy again
But she has no idea when that will be
Words can't explain how she misses him
Whenever she hears specific songs
She loses all control
And just breaks down into tears
She just wants him to walk through the door
And give her a hug and never leave her again
But that won't happen
Every second of the day that passes
She thinks about him
All these feelings she keeps hidden
But she is trying so hard
Not just for her
But for her momma too
She tried telling her close friends
About her feelings
They don't understand that she is slowly
Dying on the inside
And no one can save her
Her emotions have taken over
And she has no control over them anymore
When this girl has too much on her mind
She loses sight of the important things
Especially her life
And at times it has been in danger
Her biggest support is gone
She can't take the pain much longer
She just wants to be happy again
Like she used to be when he was around
Losing many loved ones in her life
Not all by death but in her life
She doesn't want to lose anyone else
She wants to reveal the truth
Tired of hiding in the shadows
Hoping that this is one step closer
To moving on
She still feels like if she does everything
Will fade away and disappear into the forgotten
She still can't let go
She can't step foot into the church
Where the funeral was held
Flashbacks are always occurring in her head
She is the only one
Not being able to move on
After it has been 5 years
She wonders what her life would be like
If he was still there to this very day
She wishes things were back to normal
When she did the things that made her happy
Like playing sports
Riding the four wheeler and snow mobile
Grilling steak and watching nascar
Hanging out and talking to her dad
She had so much to say to him
And she just never got the chance to
She always thought it could wait until later
Well time was in the fast lane
Because that time never came around
Always and forever
Daddy's little girl
No matter how old she is
She will still be
Daddy's little girl
Even if and when her momma gets remarried
She will always be
Daddy's little girl
