It's been two years
Since we spoken last
And you can't take back
What we never had
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
Dear, father
I'd love to leave you alone
But I can't barely let you go
Oh, father
Dear, father
Put the bottle down
For the love of a daughter
Oh father
Four years old
With my back to the door
All I could hear
Was the back and ford
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
Dear, father
I'd love to leave you alone
But I can't barely let you go
Oh, father
Dear, father
Put the bottle down
For the love of a daughter
Oh father
How could you lie to your flesh and your blood?
How could you go where no gentleman would?
How could you do what you’ve done
To a wife and a child that you swore you loved?
How could you lie to your flesh and your blood?
How could you go where no gentleman would?
How could you do what you’ve done
To a wife and a child that you swore you loved?
Oh, father
Dear, father
I'd love to leave you alone
But I can't barely let you go
Oh, father
Dear, father
Put the bottle down
For the love of a daughter
Oh father
