The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

It's been two years

Since we spoken last

And you can't take back

What we never had

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

Dear, father

I'd love to leave you alone

But I can't barely let you go

Oh, father

Dear, father

Put the bottle down

For the love of a daughter

Oh father

Four years old

With my back to the door

All I could hear

Was the back and ford

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

Dear, father

I'd love to leave you alone

But I can't barely let you go

Oh, father

Dear, father

Put the bottle down

For the love of a daughter

Oh father

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?

Oh, father

Dear, father

I'd love to leave you alone

But I can't barely let you go

Oh, father

Dear, father

Put the bottle down

For the love of a daughter

Oh father
