Daddy

[Verse 1]
Some days I'd wait for you to come by
Hoping you'd come by
Some days I'd cry
And I thought if you loved me
Surely you'd come and find
You said you loved me
But you never came

[Pre-Chorus]
And over the years, I realized
That life even happened to you
Through all the pain, I realized
That you could only give what was given to you
So I need you to know that I'm doing just fine
Me and mama made it, we made it on our own
I need you to know I'm doing just fine
Me and mama made it, we made it on our own

[Chorus]
Oh, daddy
You're more than your mistakes
Oh, daddy
I'm sorry for the way
That you left a space that no man could fill
So God stepped in to show me how it feels
To be a daughter
And daddy, I miss you

[Post-Chorus]
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

[Verse 2]
All these empty promises
Lying at my feet
Hope had lost its innocence
I was just dying to believe
That you'd come when you said you'd come
And you'd call when you said you'd call
Like waiting for the rain to fall
Without a rain cloud in sight

[Pre-Chorus]
And over the years, I realized
That life even happened to you
Through all the pain, I realized
That you could only give what was given to you
So I need you to know I'm doing just fine
Me and mama made it, we made it on our own
I need you to know I'm doing just fine
Me and mama made it, we made it on our own

[Chorus]
Oh, daddy
You're more than your mistakes, mm
Oh, daddy
I forgive you for the way
That you left a space that no man could fill
So God stepped in to show me how it feels
To be a daughter, mm-mm
Daddy, I forgive you

[Bridge]
I forgive you for the things that you did and didn't do
I forgive you for the times that you didn't come through for me
For every tear I cried, every wall that I built
For every second spent trying to replace you
I forgive you for the things that you did and didn't do
I forgive you for the times that you didn't come through for me
For every tear I cried, every wall that I built
For every second spent trying to replace you
'Cause I tried to replace you

[Chorus]
Oh, daddy, mm
You're more than your mistakes
Oh, daddy, mm-mm
I forgive you for the way
That you left a space that no man could fill
So God stepped in to show me how it feels
Daddy, you left a space that no man could fill
So God stepped in to show me how it feels
You left a space that no man could ever fill
So God stepped in to show me how it feels
To be a daughter, mm
Daddy, I forgive you

[Outro]
Mm-mm
Daddy, I forgive you
