the day she was born
all my hopes went away
my dreams of being his baby again
went down the drain
now I'm not blaming her
for how he has been treating me
he did that all his own
he has thrown me to the side
like a rag doll lost in a pile of other forgotten things
with hopes that she would bring peace
she brought tragedy
now I'm not blaming her
for his stupid mistakes
he stopped thinking of me when she was born
she consumed his attention
now once again I'm not blaming her
I do not resent her
I just want to present the facts
he doesn't see me even though I'm standing right there
he wont hear me even though I'm yelling in his ear
he doesn't love me even though that's what I'm here for
I still want to be daddy's girl
but in the end she still has his undivided attention
