A little girl is huddled
In a corner crying tears
Because of broken promises
And all of the missed years
Every time her daddy said
I will be there for you
Because of broken promises
She knew it wasnt true
She missed him so greatly
But wanted him to leave
Because of broken promises
She needed time to grieve
He promised her mumma
That he would try so very hard
Because of broken promises
She threw away his cards
She tried to see through the pain
And listen to her heart
Because of broken promises
From the very start
She did her very best
To make her daddy proud
he was never ever around
She needed her dad to be there
But he said his work was more important
Because of broken promises
She couldnt handle any more
She never knew her daddy well
Or how much he could love
Because of broken promises
She had had enough
