Lyrics
She was my little girl, the good old days indeed
Reflecting on nostalgic memories with a past connection.
She was my only friend, and every thing I need

And in my innocence, she gave me two loved kids
Recalling a time of innocence and the gift of children.
Now they're all my world, I'll give them everything

But then the troubles came, since nothing was the same
Describing a shift in circumstances leading to problems.
Everything is wrong, and I'm the one to blame
Taking responsibility for the changes and challenges.
A ghost inside my place, can't stand that sour face
Feeling haunted by a negative presence in the speaker's life.
Oh man my little girl, she turned into a witch
Expressing disappointment and a metaphorical transformation of the girl into a negative force.
Baby every day, you're killing me and going away
Addressing the emotional impact of the girl's actions on the speaker.
When she comes light is gone, when she's gone night is day
Highlighting the disruptive influence of the girl's presence and absence.
She's the reason that they live and the reason I'm dead
Acknowledging the dual impact of the girl on the children and the speaker.
When she goes I just hope that she'll never come back
Expressing a desire for the girl to stay away permanently.
Never come back
Reiterating the hope for the girl's absence to be permanent.
Can we bring 'em back, the days of young and free
Nostalgically yearning for the carefree days of youth.
Can you remember that? When you were there with me
Asking if the listener remembers the shared past.
The good old days have passed, no matter how I tried
Expressing the impossibility of returning to the past.
I couldn't resurrect the memory that died
Linking the difficulties faced to the inability to revive past memories.
Cause then the troubles came, since nothing was the same
Repeating the theme of troubles and the speaker taking blame.
Everything is wrong, and I'm the one to blame
Continuation of the impact of troubles and self-blame.
A ghost inside my place, can't stand that sour face
Reiteration of a negative presence in the speaker's life.
Oh man my little girl, she turned into a witch
Emphasizing the negative transformation of the girl into a "witch."
Baby every day, you're killing me and going away
Expressing the daily emotional toll of the girl's actions.
When she comes light is gone, when she's gone night is day
Highlighting the drastic impact of the girl's presence and absence on the speaker's life.
She's the reason that they live, and the reason I'm dead
Reiterating the dual impact of the girl on the children and the speaker.
When she goes I just hope that she'll never come back
Expressing a strong desire for the girl to stay away permanently.
Never come back
Reiterating the hope for the girl's absence to be permanent.
