Dad

Daddy, why do you do this?
You make me feel so small

Daddy, what did you say?
Do you just not care at all?

Daddy, please just listen
Hear these words I cry

Daddy, hear my words
Give me a chance to say why

Daddy, stop this anger
Or I'll just hang up the phone

Daddy, please calm down
This is no reason to moan

Just hear me now
Hear what we have to say
Don't bring me into this
Not in this way

You remember that time?
When you did bad things
You throw that in our faces
Saying you'll do it again

What is your problem?
Why do you speak these words?
Do we have to hear them
And the venom behind them first

Just calm down
Take things slow
Talk to me tomorrow
Talk to me, I want to know,
Why you're like this
Being aggressive and so
Just calm down, Daddy,
You're acting like a fool, you know?
