lyrics

Daddy you died and I didn’t cry
I guess I was lost and afraid and mixed up on inside
How could I grasp what was going on
But I sure as hell felt the pain for someone so young

For someone so young
I felt scared and empty like life was cold and grey
For someone so young
I felt scared and empty like life was cold and grey

Daddy you died and I don’t know why
What was I supposed to do in my little mind
I felt all alone stuck in this new place
Forced to move, go to school and had no say
Fear is what fed me, it tucked me in and said “good night”

For someone so young
I felt scared and empty like life was cold and grey
For someone so young
I had so much anger my heart had choked with pain

Although I will not give in
The scar weighs on my soul
And all I want from living
Is something to fill the hole

I know that I can find it
Hope is the only road
I’m on this path for both of us
And all who suffer in this world

Daddy you died and I didn’t cry
But it’s left its mark on me there’s no denying
What should I make of living with so much sadness around
When you can lose your friends, your family, your home and your town

For someone so young
I felt scared and empty like life was cold and grey
But that’s the picture I have painted
And it’s the one I’ve carried with me up to this day

Daddy you died and I didn’t cry
