Daddy don't go.

I don't know why you need a new family.

Wasn't I good enough?

I'm sorry daddy.

I will be better.

Please daddy, don't go.

Daddy please,

You're all I have left.

Daddy don't go.

 

But there you go.

You close the door,

So I run to the window.

'Daddy,' I whisper.

Daddy don't go.

Now you are in the car.

You won't even look at me.

Daddy, I beg silently.

Look in my eyes,

See how much I need you.

 

Daddy, please.

Daddy please don't go.

 

Daddy don't go...
