i was daddys little girl
his only one his shining star
but he stole it all
and took it too far

i thought he was my hero
and i thought he was my savior
could've had such a happy family
all the odds were in my favor

i was daddys shining star
the one he loved the most
but now hes so far away
on the other side, near the coast

so selfish was this man
who said i was his little girl
where was my "daddy" 
when my world started to unfurl

innocent little girls
who know nothing of the truth
still developed in their happiness
such a horrible way to end the youth

i was daddys shining star
the one he loved the most
but now hes so far away
just another ghost

now hes gone forever
just another memory meant to haunt
he doesn't care how i feel
he doesn't bother to find out what i want

my daddy is lost and gone
forever and a day
i didn't want it to end
i didn't want it to be this way

i was daddys shining star
the one he loved the most
but now hes just another memory
just another ghost
