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 award ?

You have a hollowed 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’ve spoken last
And you can’t take back what we never had
I can be manipulated only 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 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 ?
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 alone.

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
