Lync V - Last Words Lyrics

He fell in love with his daughter
When he saw her face
He would always protect her
No one could take his place
She grew up at an uncomfortable pace
It seemed like yesterday
They were playing peekaboo
Next thing you know
She was going to school
She was so perfect
When she skipped down the street
She smiled at everyone
She would meet
In her pink dress
With gaps in her teeth
That she would proudly show
What would happen
He didn't know

She was 8
When she found the open safe
Around 2 o'clock
He woke to the shot
He ran to the room
Where she was laying on the ground
He screamed her name
But she didn't make a sound
His wife was on business
Out of town
He screamed and he wept
As her blood flowed
He kept pressure on the wound
He called 911
There was nothing they could do

Now it's her life in repeat
Seeing her skip down the street
Hearing her scream with glee
All until her heart ceased to beat
He held her and supported her head
Don't cry Daddy
The last thing she said
