Tuning: Drop
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
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
(hold)
the love of a daughter
(hold)
for the love of a daughter
