Abuse through the eyes of a child.
I am in my corner Daddy
Quivering in fear
As I hear the thudding of your footsteps Daddy
I know that you're getting near.

I can feel my heart racing Daddy
Pounding right out of my chest,
I tried to hold my tears inside Daddy
I promise I did my best.

But as you reached my corner Daddy
I began to cry,
Who would have thought it Daddy
That today would be the day I would die.

You grabbed me by my hair Daddy
And dragged me across the floor,
Please don't hurt me Daddy
I promise I won't cry no more!

I thought I was your little girl Daddy
Your princess with a smile,
But who would have thought it Daddy
That you could be so vile.

We are in the hallway now Daddy,
Right above the stairs,
You tossed me right down them Daddy,
Without a single care.

I can feel my bones breaking Daddy
As I reach the end,
Who would have thought it Daddy,
How far my legs could bend.

Why are you walking by me Daddy
Like I'm not even here,
Why can't I see you now Daddy,
When I know that you are so near.

Who is that at the door Daddy,
Are those sirens I hear outside?
You don't really love me do you Daddy,
Because I heard you tell that man a lie.

I didn't fall down the stairs Daddy,
You threw me like a ball,
Why don't you tell the truth Daddy,
That's not what happened at all.

I'm getting colder now Daddy,
I just want to sleep.
Why are you crying now Daddy
You did all of this to me.

You let your anger get to you Daddy,
Like I knew it would
I'll never get to grow up Daddy,
Like mommy said I could.

Tell mommy I love her Daddy,
Tell brother I said goodbye
Oh and before I forget Daddy,
Did you really want me to die?
