For the Love of a Daughter - Demi Lovato

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 ward?

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

Oh

It's been five years since we've spoken last

And you can't take back what we never had

Oh, well, 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
