It’s been 2 years since we spoken last
You can’t take back what we never had
Selfish hands always expecting more
I your child or just a charity award

You have a hallowed out heart but its heavy in your chest
I try so hard to fight it but its hopeless,
Hopeless, your hopeless.

Oh father, dear father
I’d love to leave you alone but I can never 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
And all I can hear was the back and forth
I can be manipulated only so many times
Before even I love you, starts to sound like a lie

You have a hallowed out heart but its heavy in your chest
I try so hard to fight it but its hopeless,
Hopeless, your hopeless.

Oh father, dear father
I’d love to leave you alone but I can never 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 to where no gentlemen 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 to where no gentlemen would
How could you do what you’ve done
To a wife and a child that you swore you loved.

Oh father, please father
I’d love to leave you alone but I could never let you go
Oh father, dear father
Put the bottle down for the love of a daughter

Oh father, please father
I’d love to leave you alone but I can never let you go
Oh father, dear father
Put the bottle down for the love of a daughter
Oh father.
