Story Behind The Song

The hook line came to me whislt i was at the keyboard. It was origionally written as a song for a lady to sing to her ex partner.

Song Description

How do children cope when a parent cuts them out of their life and replaces them with other children?

Lyrics

We got it wrong, you walked away
I never said it was all your fault
But your leavin left two things behind you when you closed the door
My aching heart, and your little girl.

We both know you didn't run too far
I can't help thinking it was maybe you plan
She sees you out with youre ready made family, this is a small town
She's seen you holding hands

Chorus
She's just six years old and you walk on by her
She's just six years old. she don't understand
She's just six years old and you walk on by her
She says daddy, is that my mam?

You dont hear the things she whispers
When she's climmbing on the stairs
You can't know just what she's goin through
'Cos you don't hear her prayers

Just might be you'll have a change of heart
You'll come looking for her someday
Full of tears you might be on your knees
But she won't look the other way.
