For the Love of a Daughter (Lyrics) - Demi Lovato

This is my favorite song by her and I was utterly shocked by the lack of lyric videos for it so I had to make one :) Such a good song.

[legislong]

"Don't you remember I'm your babygirl"

Ouch. Hits hard, my Dad left me for Drugs, Alcohol, and a terrible woman 😔

[samo_glupa_cura]

"Don't you remeber I'm your baby girl?" I can't stop crying to this part

[sangpuiikholhring]

"please father put the bottle down for the love of a daughter, don't you remember I'm your baby girl", this is exactly how it feels to have an alcoholic father but you still love him no matter what and you can't let him go

[blakejennerisanabuser]

shoutout to the girls who’s father broke their hearts before any teenage boys ever could

[mackenzierodriguez]

*”So young when the pain had begun, now forever afraid of being alone”* hit different 🙂💔

[anniecarlston]

“Don’t you remember I’m your baby girl how could throw me right out world 💔” that hits in the heart so hard

[darkkitsune]

When that one sentence hits you: *angry crying*

I really respect and admire Demi for creating such an emotional and personal song that many children of abusive and neglectful parents can relate and heal to, including me. My mother is an abusive narcissist. My dad abandoned me when I was 11.

These lyrics really speak deep in me. Thank you, Demi, ever so much.

[spaghettiappletaterghost]

The fact that I relate to all of this is actually really depressing...
“I can be manipulated only so many times, before even I love you starts to sound like a lie” ...
That hit me really hard

[iamhere]

Damn, this really shows how a child will always try to love their dad or mom no matter what, unconditional love is the love family is suposed to represent.

[arminajohn]

it sucks that the first and only man that broke my heart was my father.

[bwingbwinggwiyomi]

"put your hands on the ones that you swore you loved". It hurts. The traumatic memories of my abusive narcissist mother abusing me.. These lyrics really speak to me. Thank you, Demi for creating such a personal song.

me with daddy issues: crying

dad walks by :

also me : starts to freak out

[tucker]

“Don’t you remember I’m you’re baby girl” That hit me hard....I don’t have an abusive family and I’m lucky because I feel very bad for the people that do

[owenbenettlinga]

You instantly cry when you've experienced the meaning of the song. I was 4 years old, My Father and Mom weren't married, My Father cheated on my Mom and when they were on court on who would take custody over me, My Father told the court that I wasn't his daughter and refused to take me so My Mom got custody of me. He also married his side chick and they adopted a child together because the woman was infertile. I was 9 when my Father came back when he and his side chick divorced, The happiness lasted for 1 year then he showed his true colors, he drank every night and would always curse me and my mom... He pushed me to depression, I took pills to end my life and instead of comforting me and helping me... He just called me a disappointment and continued to curse at me and threaten me, There was a moment when he tried to punch me if it weren't for my Mom shielding me, I would've been hit. Still waiting for the moment that my Mom will realize that my Father just pushed me to a worst scenario. I'm even more scared to come out to my Father as Bisexual because he would always tell me that he will kill me if I were to have a relationship with a girl.

You can actually feel the pain in her voice it’s so sad

[exlipsedddd]

Ppl are talking about “don’t you remember I’m your baby girl” but the line that hits me that hardest is “well I can be manipulated, only so many times before even I love you starts to sound like a lie” idk it just kinda speaks to me and reminds me of stuff I’ve been through

This is my story scroll past if you want:

I lived with my mom, dad, and brother in a little house. My family was always at war with each other. My mom and dad were always yelling at each other. He always needed money. He stayed in the basement and rarely was seen. Everytime he came inside they would always fight. My grandfather was my father figure. I looked up to him. He was kind, and caring. He was my role model. We moved to a different house. The fighting never stopped I was 7. My father always had strangers around the house when my mom was at work. The cops came around a lot and I didn't understand why. I'll never forget the night I thought that my dad was going to hit my mom. He was angry. She was telling him to leave. He threw her phone. I screamed at him to stop through my tears. The was arrested many times. He was a drug addict and a alcoholic. He skipped all of his court dates and is currently a fugitive. My mom filed for full custody over me. Court came around and he never showed. I felt abandoned. I was never expecting him to show up but I didnt realize how much it would hurt.Was I not a good enough daughter for him? I havent seen him in over 2 years. My grandfather, my father figure, died last May. I went through the loss of our house. I've been diagnosed with 3 different anxiety disorders and depression. I self harm. I struggle with my body image and am currently fight anorexia.


For anyone out there who feels like they are worthless. Just know YOU ARE NEEDED IN THIS WORLD. YOU MATTER. Dont let anyone tell you any different. I love❤❤ Stay strong. Keep fighting it will get better.
