you were supposed to tie my shoes,
then teach me to do the same.
you should have been the one I told,
all my dreams of fortune and fame.
you were the person I should have been able to trust,
with my dearest, most precious part,
yet you were never there for me,
you dropped and trampled my heart.

you were the one who's supposed to tell me,
that no man will ever be good enough.
you were the one who was supposed to protect me,
and help me through all this hard stuff.
you are the one who should have kept me,
to one day give me away.
you are the one who has now taught me,
no man shall ever stay.

though I wish you'd been around more,
I now see it's just not you're thing.
acting the role of father has always,
been second to your role as king.
your life has always been number one,
though I wish you'd been here for me,
you were supposed to be my father,
'cause Daddy that's how it's supposed to be.
