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 tried so hard to fight it but it's hopeless
Hopeless
You're hopeless
Oh father, Please father
I'd loved 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
It's been five years since we spoken last

And 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 tried so hard to fight it but it's hopeless
Hopeless
You're hopeless
Oh father, Please father

I'd loved 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 one's that you swore you'd love
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 loved 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
For the love of a daughter
