Four years old with my back to the door
All I could hear was the family war
You’re selfish and always expecting more
Am I your child or just a charity ward
You have a hallowed out heart
But it’s heavy in your chest
I try so hard to fight 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
It’s been five years
Since we have spoken last
And you can’t take back
What we never had
Well I can be manipulated
Only so many times
Before even I love you
Starts to sound like a lie
You have a hallowed out heart
But it’s heavy in your chest
I try so hard to fight 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
Lie 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 alone
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
