For The Love Of A Daughter

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

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

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

But it’s heavy in your chest

I try so hard to find it but it’s hopeless

Hopeless, you’re hopeless

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

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

Oh, father, please father

I’d love to leave you alone

But I can’t let you go

Oh, father, please father

Oh, father, please father

Put the bottle down

For the love of a daughter

For the love of a daughter
