I was never the same, again.

You are still there watching,

Waiting to hold my fall.

But risks are not my game,

Since you left, Pa,

I was never the same, again.

You still fill my purses somehow,

For the things that I thoughtlessly buy,

But the coins left by you are my sovereigns

Since you left, Pa,

I was never the same, again.

You still caress my hair,

For times when I hide and cry,

But tears no more flow like rain,

Since you left, Pa,

I was never the same, again.

I have many roles to play in life,

But I wish to be the little girl,

With a thousand pet names,

Since you left, Pa,

I was never the same, again.
