she seeks recognition in the arms of men

so many seeds have drenched her bed

for a fleeting moment the thrill is high

soft words

empty promises

and so she cries

she longs for a love that she never receives

daddy’s little girl has scars that won’t heal

she uses her body to silence her mind

to hide the pain she feels inside

and like a child that seeks attention

their meaningless words are her redemption

daddy’s little girl is looking for protection

or maybe just a little redirection

from those all times she wanted perfection

with every cut a part of her dies

they tell the tale of all the times she’s tried

as daddy’s little girl slowly drifts away

her family and friends continue to pray

only a miracle can save her now

daddy’s little girl has lost her crown
