Hope you like! I know weird couple but see Tala lived a terrible life kinda at the abbey and all that. And the song talks about how the mother is mostly always gone and since MingMing is a big singer she would be gone most of the time so yah! Hope you like! .
I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now
But hey, what daddy always tell you?
Straighten up little soldier
Stiffen up that upper lip
What you crying about?
You got me
The little girl said. Tala looked down at the little red haired girl. "Yeah Kanna?"
"Were's mommy at?" she asked. Tala took a deep breath. "I don't know, Kanna...I don't know."
Kanna I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad
When I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had
I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh
I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry
Tala held his daughter in his arms, know MingMing was out somewhere singing and being number one! Leaving him behind to take care of the child was his job! But he was like both mother and father to Kanna! 'Mom's always gone, she's not coming back! And I also have to blade to keep food on the table for both Kanna and I,' he thought.
Cuz you're scared, I ain't there?
Daddy's with you in your prayers
No more crying, wipe them tears
Daddy's here, no more nightmares
We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it
Laney uncles crazy, aint he?
Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it
"Kanna, sweetie...look at me," Tala announced. Kanna tilted her head up to view her father's icy blue eyes, almost filled with tears. "Yeah," she said with her sweet voice.
"You promise when you older...you'll never leave your child and husband?" he said.
"I promise daddy!"
"Good! I can tell your going to be a perfect wife and mother!"
Kanna smiled and hugged her father.
We're all we got in this world
When it spins, when it swirls
When it whirls, when it twirls
Two little beautiful girls
Lookin' puzzled, in a daze
I know it's confusing you
Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news
I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems
'Kanna...don't do what your mother did...sure we're rich but that doesn't mean anything, so just get a good job and a great husband and have a great family, your my baby and always will be,' Tala thought.
The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me
All the things growing up his daddy that he had to see
Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did
We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me
"Daddy! Will mommy ever come back to eat dinner with us?" Kanna asked. Tala bit his lip. "Well...I'm sorry Kanna, but probably not...she's off doing show and making albums, no time for her family, no time for her husband, no time for her special daughter that she once loved and cared for! But I'm lucky to know this little girl, Kanna your promise you made to me...please keep, please," he said.
Kanna layed her head on her father's chest and dozed off.
"Okay daddy...I love you!" she managed to say before she was asleep.
But things have gotten so bad between us
I don't see us ever being together ever again
Like we used to be when we was teenagers
But then of course everything always happens for a reason
I guess it was never meant to be
But it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is
"I love you too Kanna," Tala whispered.
But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep
Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream
