How about we forget the world?
Me and you together
Maybe if just for a day
We'll lie in bed
So wrapped up in each other
Me and you
We can just forget
Forget the world
If only for today.

I feel pathetic and stupid
For wanting you
Lost and alone
For loving you
Confused and Broken
When you're the only one I want
I wish I knew how to tell you
Will you listen?
Will you care?
Stupid and pathetic,
All I am to you.

How should I describe, how I feel
when I'm around you?
Warm and Safe
as if nothing can hurt me
bright and happy
like nothing can ever go wrong
beautiful,
Like I'm the only one you see
I feel invincible
and Whole
like I can't be broken
Light headed and dizzy
beacuse you make me feel
Like I've never felt before

The ghost of your hand in mine
Holding tight
Don't ever let go
Daddy please
The ghost of me sitting on your lap
A little horsie ride
Don't let the fun end
Daddy please
The ghost of your arms around me
Protecting me
From the world around me
Daddy please
Why did you let go of me?
Where did you go?
Daddy please
what made you leave?
Daddy please
come back...

I want to tell you how I feel
I want to tell you how much I need you here
How you're the only one who can help me now
I want to show you, I'm not still that girl
I want to tell you how much you mean to me
And how much I love you
But will my words make any difference at all?

Why can't I say it?
the words in my head
little thoughts
floating around
why can't I say it?
the emotions in my heart
the pain in my
can't you see?
I'm scared to death
of the effect of my words
I need you more than you know
But nothings the same
Why can't I say
what im really feeling?
why can't I express myself
I need you more than you know
but theres so much hidden behind my eyes
can't you see it?
why can't I say what i really feel?

I waited up for you
every night
curled up in front of the tv
I knew you wouldn't be home until late
if you came home at all
so many nights
I was so scared
something would happen to you
so many morning I would wake
and you still weren't home
and if you were
you would yell
and tell me all the things ive done wrong
you would hurt me
and tell me I don't deserve to live
tell me it was all my fault...
I saw your blood shot eyes
And heard the rasp of your voice
smelled the alchohol on your breath
You think I didn't know
all I wanted was my daddy
to tuck me in at night
