Dear Daddy

by Harper Grae

on Break Your Crowns (2017)

[Chorus 1]
Dear daddy, it's father's day again
I wonder if you ever stop and wonder where I've been
Dear daddy, it's been so awful long
Your little girl has grown, dear daddy

[Post-Chorus]
This wounded bird you left so long ago
Somehow I still miss you so

[Verse 1]
And mama loved you for a moment
A moment she'd always regret
For you, I guess I was an omen
Someone you tried hard to forget

And you never saw me coming
An unmistakable mistake
I was born and you went running
And you kept running
And you're still running

[Chorus 2]
Dear daddy, I'm up in Birmingham
I wonder if you ever stop and wonder who I am
Dear daddy, where have the years all gone
Hope keeps hanging on, dear daddy

[Post-Chorus]
This wounded bird you left so long ago
Somehow I still miss you so

[Bridge]
I need to move on now
But i keep on looking back
We're still flesh and blood
And nothing changes that

[Outro]
This wounded bird you left so long ago
She's singing now, but I still miss you so
Dear daddy, I still miss you so
