V1
I sat there in shock
In that old church pew
Final confirmation after years of talk 
You were the father I never knew
Mom had dropped her bombshell
You were the dad I had wanted in my life
Her words cut my heart with a knife
Wondered if you thought about me
Now death took you away
Man what a loss

Pre:  If I had only known

Ch 
I could have been a daddy’s girl
You could have taught me about life and men 
Proclaim I’m your daughter to the world
You could have held me when I was sick
Took me to the playground to play hide and seek
Surprised me with gifts 
Just spend time with me 
But you had another family
You loved them dearly 
But, what about me?
Never want to be bitter, angry and sad
You didn't mean to treat me so bad
So daddy, I forgive you

V2
I could have kicked myself
You sent me a message
That I should come see you  
I ignored the request
Its my biggest regret
The voice inside my head 
Would not let go of my pride
I thought you were a crazy old man 
Who just claimed to be my dad
Never got to see you one last time

Bridge
I was your only child
And your wife didn’t like me
Never felt worth your while

Pre:  If I had only known

Ch 
I could have been a daddy’s girl
You could have taught me about life and men 
Proclaim I’m your daughter to the world
You could have held me when I was sick
Took me to the playground to play hide and seek
Surprised me with gifts 
Just spend time with me 
But you had another family
You loved them dearly 
But, what about me?
Never want to be bitter, angry and sad
You didn't mean to treat me so bad
So daddy, I forgive you
