four years old

with my back to the door

all i could hear

was the family war

your selfish hands

always e pecting 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

for the love of a daughter
