I just wanted to say "hello"

You picked up the phone

cold and agitated.

I could tell by the way you said my name

that you weren't the  same littel girl

and maybe thats what i was afraid of all these years

i was away to long and now i don't know who you are

i've heard that you've grown up so much

and maybe its time i grew a little to

so i picked  up the phone because I just wanted to say "hello"

part of me thought that little girl would be  excited to hear her father

but all i heard was pain from a young woman

you asked me where i've been

but maybe i'm a little to ashamed

the only thing i cna muster out is i'm sorry

i've lost you once and i don't want to lose you again
