Intro

Verse 1

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?

Refrain

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

Chorus 1

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

Post Chorus:

Verse 2

It’s been 5 years since

we’ve 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

(Repeat Refrain)

Chorus 2

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

Bridge

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

Chorus 3

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
