Lyrics

You brought me into my life
and I don't even know you
Conceived in the dark
You disappeared before the sunrise
Sperm cell donor
Elementary chemistry 
Every man's not worthy
to be called daddy

Gave me your name - like a price tag rummage sale
When I screamed out my first breath, should've told you to go to hell
But you weren't there

You wasn't there for my first step
You wasn't there when I scraped my knee 
You wasn't there when the boogieman shadows danced on my bedroom walls (NO!)
You weren't there to say my prayers 
Daddy-daughter night I danced alone
Now you wanna come back in my life
Not in this life
Not in this life

I learn to dance alone

Disappointed / Disrespected / Disapproved / Disconnected 

Disobedient / Disengaged / Dysfunctional / Disrespected 

This is my life
This is my journey 
This is my life
This is my journey

I never saw your pictures
In between the frames

You weren't there

You wasn't there for my first step
You wasn't there when I scraped my knee 
You wasn't there when the the boogieman shadows danced on my bedroom walls
You weren't there to say my prayers 
Daddy-daughter night I danced alone
Now you wanna come back in my life
Not in this life
Not in this life

Not in this life
Not in this life
 
You brought me into my life
and I don't even know you
Conceived in the dark of the night
You disappeared before the sunrise 
Gave me your name like a price tag rummage sale 

You weren't there!

You wasn't there for my first step
You wasn't there when I scraped my knee 
You wasn't there when the boogieman shadows danced on my bedroom walls
You weren't there to say my prayers 
Daddy-daughter night I danced alone
Now you wanna come back in my life
Not in this life
Not in this life

I learned to dance alone
I learned to dance alone

You wasn't there for my first step
You wasn't there when I scraped my knee 
You wasn't there when the boogieman shadows danced on my bedroom walls
You weren't there to say my prayers 
Daddy-daughter night I danced alone
Now you wanna come back in my life
Not in this life
Not in this life
Not in this life
Not in this life
Not in this life
Not in this life

I learned to dance alone
I learned to dance alone
I learned to dance alone
I learned to dance alone
