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 spoken last
And you can't take back
What we never had
Oh 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 loved
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
