For the Love of a Daughter

For the Love of a Daughter 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 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 spoke last  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  Light to your flash 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
