Lyrics For the Love of a Daughter - Demi Lovato

For the Love of a Daughter

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 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 5 years, since we’ve spoken last
And you can’t take back what we never had
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
Put the bottle down
For the love of a daughter.
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.
