Daddy's not there

"Hey we haven't talked in a while"
Says the father whose never there
"I've been busy"
Says the daughter who doesn't care
Both unconnected,
Disconnected

A dropped call
This time its not the phone companies fault
Or because of lost signal at all

Not even a picture
Is worth a thousand words
Just some smiles
and some words exchanged
About the past that never was
But there's not an app for that
It never was
So this call is over
'Cause all there is,
Are the same messages
Left unread


Daddy's not there
He never was
But who cares?
Daddy never had a little girl
But she'll be alright
Sitting alone at night
Reflecting
Remembering
The things they never did
