For the Love of a Daughter

1. Four years old with my back to the door
All I could hear was the family war
Your selfish hands always expecting more
Am I your child or just a charity ward

*: You have a hollowed out heart
But it’s heavy in your chest
I try so hard to find it but it’s hopeless
Hopeless, you’re hopeless

R: Oh, father, please father
I’d love to leave you alone
But I can’t let you go
Oh, father, please father
Put the bottle down
For the love of a daughter, oh

3. It’s been five years since we’ve spoken last
And you can’t take back
What we never had
Oh, I can be manipulated
Only so many times, so many times
Before even I love you
Starts to sound like a lie

*: You have a hollowed out heart...
R: Oh, father, please father...

3. Don’t you remember I’m your baby girl
How could you push me out of your world
Lied to your flesh and your blood
Put your hands on the ones that you swore you loved
Don’t you remember I’m your baby girl
How could you throw me right out of your world
So young when the pain had begun
Now forever afraid of being in love

R: Oh, father, please father...
