"Daddy Didn't" lyrics

Daddy didn't make me feel small
Go to sleep mad
Never once heard venom in his voice
Daddy didn't set the bar low
Tune my words out
Like I was static lost in the noise

If you're asking me he hung the moon
And here's another thing he didn't do
Daddy didn't let his little girl
Think this big old world
Didn't come with guys like you

He kissed me goodbye
The day I left home
Prayed me one of his prayers
Gave me one of his guns
Knowing one day
I'd meet a man
Who's everything he isn't
I gave you my heart
You drug it around
I should've seen it coming
But looking back now
You and me didn't stand a chance
From the damn beginning
You been doing things daddy didn't

Daddy never made mama wonder
Where the hell he was
On the nights he had come home late
Daddy wouldn't be too proud
To apologize
Knowing whose heart's at stake
He won't have the chance to look you in the eye
But I'll bet he had you on his mind

When he kissed me goodbye
The day I left home
Prayed me one of his prayers
Gave me one of his guns
Knowing one day
I'd meet a man
Who's everything he isn't
I gave you my heart
You drug it around
I should've seen it coming
But looking back now
You and me didn't stand a chance
From the damn beginning
You been doing things daddy didn't

No, daddy didn't

He kissed me goodbye
The day I left home
Prayed me one of his prayers
Gave me one of his guns
Knowing one day
I'd leave a man
Who's everything he isn't
I gave you my heart
You drug it around
I should've seen it coming
But looking back now
You and me didn't stand a chance
From the damn beginning
No, we didn't stand a chance
From the damn beginning
You been doing things daddy didn't

Daddy didn't
