Demi Lovato — For the Love of a Daughter Demo Version

[Verse 1] It's been two years since we've spoken last You can't take back what we never had Selfish hands always expecting more Am I your child, or just a charity ward? [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] Oh, father Dear, father I'd love to leave you alone, but I can't bear to let you go Oh, father Dear, father Put the bottle down for the love of a daughter Oh, father [Verse 2] Four years old, with my back to the door And all I could hear was the back and fourth Oh, I can be manipulated only so many times Before even "I love you" starts to sound like a lie [Pre-Chorus] 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 (Hopeless), you're hopeless [Chorus] Oh, father Dear, father I'd love to leave you alone, but I can't bear to let you go Oh, father Dear, father Put the bottle down for the love of a daughter Oh, father [Bridge] How could you lie to your flesh and your blood? How could you go where no gentleman would? How could you do what you've done? To a wife, and a child that you swore you loved How could you lie to your flesh and your blood? How could you go where no gentleman would? How could you do what you've done? To a wife, and a child that you swore you loved [Pre-Chorus] Oh, father Please, father [Chorus] I'd love to leave you alone, but I can't bear to let you go Oh, father Dear, father Put the bottle down for the love of a daughter Oh, father Please, father I'd love to leave you alone, but I can't bear to let you go Oh, father Dear, father Put the bottle down for the love of a daughter [Outro] Oh, father
