Was
it me or my mother
the
reason why you denied me
abandoned
me, rejected me
You
honestly wanted nothing to do with me
You
left me in the dark
Daddy,
you sent my heart to the glue factory
This
keeps on sending shivers up my spine
You
laid your bed and by the time you
realized
it was made of thorns
You
thought it’s best, you fled
You
were absent to see my first step
You
were absent to hear my first word
absent
to give me your so-called love
Oh!
Daddy, you shut my dreams
You
proved how useless I am to you
You
kept me wondering why? Why me?
Or
am I in a different planet?
Oh
no! Daddy, you shut me down.
Guess
you thought you were killing the goose
That
lay golden eggs.
Thought
you were killing two birds with
one
stone
not
wanting to admit that you were killing
your
only hope for the future
Ooh! Mamamiya
Daddy,
you shut me down.
