The First Man - Ruth Lorenzo

Hey daddy, it’s been a long time

Vinnie said you’re doing fine

I know we’re due a conversation

But I don’t wanna let you see me cry

I built walls I can’t see over

And I wonder if you’re at the other side

'Cause you never were there when I needed you the most

You’ll never know, you’ll never know how much it hurt

'Cause I was never enough, I was never enough

I can’t let the sun come in

I can’t let the real love dig in

Daddy, you were the first man to leave me

You made my heart break

And I swallow my tears everytime like I’m 13

Daddy, you were the first man to leave me

I wish you could hold me like you mean it

I wish you could guide me by the hand

Just because I wasn’t yours doesn’t mean you weren’t mine

The little girl in me still tries to understand

Why I was never enough, why I was never enough

I can’t let the sun come in

I can’t let the real love dig in

Daddy, you were the first man to leave me

You made my heart break

And I swallow my tears everytime like I’m 13

Daddy, you were the first man to leave me

And you said forever and ever

But forever is no more

And I don’t believe you

I don’t believe you anymore

You said forever and ever

But forever is a scar

And I don’t believe you

I don’t believe you anymore

I can’t let the sun come in

I can’t let the real love dig in

Daddy, you were the first man to leave me

You made my heart break

And I swallow my tears everytime like I’m 13

Daddy, you were the first man to leave me

Hey daddy, it’s been a long time

I hope you’re proud of your Lorenzo shining bright
