Hey daddy, how have you been?

Your college girl is thinking about you as she walks in the cold November afternoon.

The wounds you inflicted on this frail heart

is numbed by the snow creeping down.

It doesn't matter right now. Your big girl misses you.

Hey daddy, do you remember?

The pastor greeted us at the door after leaving God's house

And on the long trips to nowhere we would listen to the melodies of the legends

And talk aimlessly on the masons and religion and our falling nation.

Those things I miss, the tears are bittersweet.

I don't care about my scars and I don't care about people's mockery.

No matter how much it hurts the memories come back to me,

As sweet as honey.

And as distant as the stars that shine dimly in the dark.

Hey daddy, I miss you. Will you ever come back to me?

Hey daddy, your college girl is trying to get by.

Studying and drawing, and dreaming of the uncertain.

Dreaming things that the young people hope for,

Of a bright future that you can be proud of

Your big girl doesn't want to disappoint you.

Hey daddy, I try so hard

But on some days it's just too much to bear.

Your absence burdens me more than you'll ever know.

All that's left is the memories

Of who I thought you were long ago

And we'll never be the same again, never again.

I don't care about my scars and I don't care about people's mockery.

No matter how much it hurts the memories come back to me,

As sweet as honey.

And as distant as the stars that shine dimly in the dark.

Hey daddy, I miss you. Will you ever come back to me?

Hey daddy, do you remember my 18th birthday?

You showed me that I am a butterfly

Coming out of the cocoon.

I'm still learning how to fly

And I know that you're cheering me on.

Hey daddy, do you miss me too? Are the memories as bittersweet?

Hey daddy, maybe you'll come back back..

Maybe someday you'll come back.
