Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Some days I’d wait for you to come by
Hoping you'd come by
Some days I’d cry
I thought if you loved me
Surely you'd come and find
You said you loved me
But you never came
Pre-Chorus:
Over the years
I realized
That life even happened to you
Through all the pain
I realized
You could only give what was given to you
I need you to know
I'm doing just fine
Me and mama made it
We made it on our own
Chorus:
Oh daddy
You're more than your mistakes
Oh daddy
I'm sorry for the way
You left a space
That no man could fill
But God stepped in
To show me how it feels
To be a daughter
Daddy I missed you
Verse 2:
All these empty promises
Lying at my feet
Hope had lost its innocence
I was just dying to believe
That you'd come when you said you'd come
And you'd call when you said you'd call
Like waiting for the rain to fall
Without a rain cloud in sight
Pre-Chorus:
Over the years
I realized
That life even happened to you
Through all the pain
I realized
You could only give what was given to you
I need you to know
I'm doing just fine
Me and mama made it
We made it on our own
Chorus:
Oh daddy
You're more than your mistakes
Oh daddy
I forgive you for the way
You left a space
That no man could fill
So God stepped in
To show me how it feels
To be a daughter
Daddy I forgive you
Bridge:
I forgive you for the things
That you did and didn't do
I forgive you for the times
That you didn't come through for me
For every tear I cried
For every wall that I built
For every second spent
Trying to replace you
(‘Cause I tried to replace you daddy)
Chorus:
Oh daddy
You're more than your mistakes
Oh daddy
I forgive you for the way
You left a space
That no man could fill
So God stepped in
To show me how it feels
To be a daughter
Daddy I forgive you
(You left a space
That no man could fill
So God stepped in
To show me how it feels
To be a daughter
Daddy I forgive you)

Thank you! I'm still dealing with my own Daddy issues and I'm learning more and more everyday to trust in the One who will never fail me!

[@JasmineJanaMusic]

I'm so excited for you in your journey! :)

[@DoxieGirlzSinger]

I loved seeing you back in Bozeman Montana. My best friend and I were crying during this song and I just held her hand tight cause she needed it more than I did. I've been missing my family badly and they moved to a different state when I was 16 but I was ok with it, at least I thought I was. You are such a beautiful person and i love your lyrics and voice.

[@JasmineJanaMusic]

I remember you! I had such a great time with you and it was absolute pleasure meeting you and your best friend. :) I hope this song provokes forgiveness and healing in the places that mere words cannot.
