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
          	Yah, I tried so hard to fight it
          	But it's hopeless, 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've 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 (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
          	
          	Oh, father
          	Please, father
          	Put the bottle down
          	For the love of a daughter
          	For the love of a daughter

Dark as midnight
          Six-pack Coors Light
          You don't look the same
          Past my bedtime
          Blue and red lights
          Come take you away
          
          Hate to see you like a monster, so I run and hide
          Hate to ask, but what's it like to leave me behind?
          
          I won't be, no, I won't be like you
          Fighting back, I'm fighting back the truth
          Eyes like yours can look away
          But you can't stop DNA
          No, you can't stop DNA
          
          Twice a year, you come in crashing
          Nice to see you too
          Johnny Cash and backseat laughing
          Always ends too soon
          
          Hate to say hello 'cause I know that it means goodbye
          Hate to ask, but what's it like to leave me behind?
          
          I won't be, no, I won't be like you
          Fighting back, I'm fighting back the truth
          Eyes like yours can look away
          But you can't stop DNA
          No, you can't stop DNA
          
          Are the pieces of you
          In the pieces of me?
          I'm just so scared
          You're who I'll be
          When I erupt
          Just like you do
          They look at me
          Like I look at you
          
          I won't be, no, I won't be like you
          Fighting back, I'm fighting back the truth
          Eyes like yours can look away
          But you can't stop DNA
          No, you can't stop DNA
