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 heartBut it’s heavy in your chestI try so hard to fight itBut it’s hopelessHopelessYou’re hopelessOh father,Please fatherI’d love to leave you aloneBut I can’t let you goOh father Please fatherPut the bottle downFor the love of a daughterOh It’s been five yearsSince we’ve spoken last,And you can’t take backWhat we never hadOh, I can be manipulated Only so many timesBefore even I love youStarts to sound like a lieYou have a hollowed out heartBut it’s heavy in your chestI try so hard to fight it
