Nightcore - For The Love Of A Daughter - (Lyrics)

▻ This song is about her childhood and her poor relationship with her dad. Her dad is an abusive alcoholic. She had to watch as he beat her mom and over-drank, as her parents fought, and as her family fell to bits. She knows things are bad but she wishes for him to change. Now she feels manipulated, hurt and angry and blames him for everything he did.

Lyrics (Also included in the video):

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

My dad passed away just last year ( November 2017 ) I missed him and now I'm lying on his bed while watching this... Dance with my Father and For the love of a daughter is relatable everytime ❤😢

[leospride]

*grabs sinon by the shoulders and starts shaking violently* SINON DO YOU SEE THIS TEARS IN MY EYES DO YOU SEE THEM

[iich.i]

When I feel sad, I listen to nightcores to make me feel more worst.
:'3

[kuma-kun]

The fact that the girl still loves her dad when hes an alcoholic makes me cry...

[stellaward]

When a girl was little she had a dad who had a fight with her mom and the mom left and as time past her father had began to drink and soon had a drinking problem so the girl left. Then five years past her father hasn't change a little . so the father forgot all about there daughter.But the daughter still remember the past. How her dad was always not himself and how she would hide in her room from him and still she loved him. She cried every night because he was never himself untill she got older she still cry's some nights. And now she couldn't let anyone in because she was afraid that she and her family would be the same when she was little.(sad)

[shannongilsdorf]

This song is literally my father and He needs to grow up, I need to have a reason not to hate him.

[lollipoplover]

This song is perfect for me
I had a father who ignored me when my sister was born. At least, my sister loves me. I love her too... but not my father... I don't call him my ' Father ', I just call him

[nightcore_cat]

"to fight but it's hopeless." That line means so much to me.

[aminori.]

"And now forever afraid of being loved"
Me.
Im scared.
Why cant i trust people?
Why cant i love someone like a normal human being once?

[eef]

My mother is the one who did this. My father is amazing and takes care of me. My mother is the one who hurt me. This song hits in the same way for me.

[hihellobye]

Demi lovato sang this?! Wat! Here emotion while singing though!

[iisvndqyniqhts]

bruh my dad left me six years ago, I was four, he abused me but I still loved him because I was so young! and the police found out how he was treating me and she had a choice, take parental classes, or not be able to go around your daughter. guess which one he chose.

[briellexa]

When I was watching this... coincidently my father passed by seeing me using my phone. Later, he turned off the lights where I was in and left me in the dark. And I'm just there... in the corner. Having tears. Remembering when I was a little kid, he locked me in a room with no lights. Good thing my mother was there. Good thing I wasn't locked by him now.

[_sarahj_]

Wow. Just wow...




Sad but beautiful ♥️

[rubenter]

[sayakachan]

The song is so sad.A father who is a damned drunk and the daughter who loves him no matter what he does. I can't believe people like this exist.

[gembergamer]

This really hit me...




On a personal level...

[NCKirito]

It's sad :(
Amazing I love it <3

[catsmith]

Wow this song has so much feeling that I understand because my dad died when I was only 3 years old. I always thought that he would come back alive, but he won't.
