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

I waited
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
