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 

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 spoke last 
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 
Light to your flash 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 alone 

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
