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 ward?

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, 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
Oh

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 try so hard to fight it but it's 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

You can literally hear the emotion in her this song makes me cry every time

[ericameganmogh]

My dad chose alcohol 5 years ago and went down a bad bad path. It hurts everyday that he chose drugs and alcohol over me. He was abusive for 3 years until we moved out. Now he is my neighbour. I can't escape

[jaenveraceso]

Ironically it's been 5 years since I last saw and spoke to my father.

[deathbonyes]

"Don't you remember I'm ur baby girl" hits hard

[shoto_todoroki]

This song actually helped me through some of the most hardest times in my life when I was so little too.. I was just brought back to this song today and it brought back so memories and I just can’t believe it.

" Now forever afraid of being loved.... "
After seeing how my mom and my siblings were treated by our father, I am aromantic and afraid to ever be treated like that by someone that I loved

[SnakeyScales]

this song reminds me of my makes me cry. ~_~

[heathermcnamara]

“How could you throw me right outta your world”-ouch

[Angel_..]

As someone who doesn't have a father, I can feel her pain in her voice. It's so hard to lose/ have someone push you out of their life. My dad left me and an age j don't even remember. Just me hearing this makes me think of my single memory I have from my dad. I have a step dad now but just knowing my real dad left my is depressing for me.

[alexismccrohan]

“Put ur hands on the ones u swore you loved” and “so young when the pain Have begone now forever afraid of bring loved” hits hard

[kenzeepark]

You can hear the pain on her voice it is beautiful .

I can relate to this song a big time but my father didn’t drink. When I was younger around 3-4 my mother and father fought a lot. Believe it or not my father banged is head on the wall in my moms room not on accident and it still leaves a mark, soon my mother had enough of him so they got a divorce but when it was the actual day at court my mother and father fought over who would have me, my mother won and I’m glad she did! The judge game me a choice to visit my father or not and young me decided that I would. Years later we would first meet at a place to hang out, then at my nana an papa’s then I would go to my fathers house for the weekend and stay there for a sleep over till Sunday. Everything was okay till my little sister was born, my father would take me to the park and play with me before she was born, !don’t get me wrong, I still loved my little sister even though she got the attention. When she hit the age of 2-3 I then began my big sister duties, comforting my little sister when she was crying, playing with her and etc but I then noticed that I was looking after her other then making food for her and putting her to bed. I did however love spending time with her, life at my fathers house was boring cause I didn’t have anything to do so the only choices was to watch YouTube kids with her and play with her which wasn’t that bad. Then him and his girlfriend fought over things stupid that Olivia did, he had a big temper and that scared me because I was afraid he would snap at me and hurt me physically. So much that at the age of 7 I told my mom in the car that his girlfriend slapped me, I told her and soon my owned up to my mom and said that she didn’t. My mom asked “why would you say that?”

I've never heard a song that made me cry before until now :')

[Zrael_Kun]

Since I was little, my father left me and my mother, to be honest, it's hard in this cruel world to survive alone when you have to be strong because your mother's only hope is, she's sick and wants to give up, you are required by the world to be independent even when you're not old enough to think about that, I hate him but on the other hand, I want him to be here...
Am i that Regiment?
