'Father Figure to Eldest Daughter'
When no one's around, tell me, do you cry at night?
Out of everyone's radar, out of everyone's sight,
When you're trying to reach out for help, tell me does anyone lend a hand?
Or you have to be on your own, replicating the figure of a man?
Your mother's crying again, your brother clings to her,
This time he left again, but I bet he'll come back later,
Everything was pushed to you 'cause they thought you could handle it,
You sighed but kept quiet; you tolerated it.
You carried the whole family on your shoulder,
When the man walked out your life but still titled himself your father,
Being the eldest daughter have to be the worst punishment,
But you cannot choose any of the settlements.
When the house is falling apart, you keep it standing,
Even when the storm you know is never-ending,
When your brothers are finding light, you pave the way,
But still, the world found you a dismay.
Tell me now, what is it that you want?
Is it respect or love you're trying to hunt?
Stop pulling the wrong trigger; you'll hurt yourself,
All of the luck and fortune you'll propel.
Since you outmanned your father, listen to me now, honey,
I'll be your father figure, I'll give you all the money,
For once, I'll protect the family you have,
Everything you love that he left.
No more running from your dreams, no more crying for him,
Trust me, the future's brighter than it seems,
Just lend me your loyalty; it'll be enough for me,
You'll breathe the air you were oppressed to see.
Once again, I'll remind you how strong you are,
Keeping yourself sane, protecting your family this far,
From an eldest daughter to another,
I'll l be your father figure; you'll never need another.
tamat.
