Song Lyrics

Hey daddy, it's been a long time
Vinnie said you're doing fine
I know we're due a conversation
But I don't wanna let you see me cry

I built walls I can't see over
And I wonder if you're at the other side
'Cause you never were there when I needed you the most
You'll never know, you'll never know how much it hurt

'Cause I was never enough, I was never enough

I can't let the sun come in
I can't let the real love dig in
Daddy, you were the first man to leave me
You made my heart break
And I swallow my tears every time like I'm 13
Daddy, you were the first man to leave me

I wish you could hold me like you mean it
I wish you could guide me by the hand
Just because I wasn't yours doesn't mean you weren't mine
The little girl in me still tries to understand

Why I was never enough, why I was never enough

I can't let the sun come in
I can't let the real love dig in
Daddy, you were the first man to leave me
You made my heart break
And I swallow my tears every time like I'm 13
Daddy, you were the first man to leave me

And you said forever and ever
But forever is no more
And I don't believe you
I don't believe you anymore
You said forever and ever
But forever is a scar
And I don't believe you
I don't believe you anymore

I can't let the sun come in
I can't let the real love dig in
Daddy, you were the first man to leave me
You made my heart break
And I swallow my tears every time like I'm 13
Daddy, you were the first man to leave me

Hey daddy, it's been a long time
I hope you're proud of your Lorenzo shining bright
