Demi Lovato - For the Love of a Daughter Lyrics

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 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
