For The Love Of A Daughter
Four years old with my back to the doorAll I could hear was the family warYour selfish hands always expecting moreAm I your child or just a charity ward?
You have a hollowed out heartBut it's heavy in your chestI try so hard to fight it but it's hopelessHopeless, you're hopeless
Oh, father, please, fatherI'd love to leave you aloneBut I can't let you goOh, father, please, fatherPut the bottle downFor the love of a daughterOh
It's been five years since we've spoken lastAnd you can't take backWhat we never hadOh, I can be manipulatedOnly so many times,Before even "I love you"Starts to sound like a lie
You have a hollowed out heartBut it's heavy in your chestI try so hard to fight it but it's hopelessHopeless, you're hopeless
Oh, father, please, fatherI'd love to leave you aloneBut I can't let you goOh, father, please, fatherPut the bottle downFor 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 begunNow forever afraid of being loved
Oh, father, please, fatherI'd love to leave you aloneBut I can't let you goOh, father, please, father
Oh, father, please, fatherPut the bottle downFor the love of a daughterFor the love of a daughter
