Lyrics

Daughter

[Verse 1]

I'm not the villain in your story

I'm not the bad guy in the hall

I'm not the reason you're unhappy

I'm not a monster at all

I'm not the place to place your blame

For all your failures and regret

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm just a daughter

Who needs a father

I'm just a daughter

Who needs a father

[Chorus]

Why can't you ever say "I'm sorry"?

Why can't you ever say that you were wrong?

Yeah, I know you got your demons

And they made you the victim

But I'm the daughter who needs a father

Yeah, I'm the daughter who needs a father

[Verse 2]

You wanted me to save you, be the hero in your life

With a devoted and perfect love to help make everything alright

But I grew up and became the kid that you raised

With opinions of my own who made my own safe

So daughter, who needs a father

You're not just be the daughter

And you be the father

[Chorus]

Why can't you ever say "I'm sorry"?

Why can't you ever say that you were wrong?

Yeah, I know you got your demons

And they made you the victim

But I'm the daughter who needs a father

Yeah, I'm a daughter, oh, who needs a father

[Bridge]

After all that's said and done

Would you rather have my love?

Would you rather win the fight?

Would you rather just be right?

[Chorus]

Why can't you ever say I'm sorry?

(Why can't you ever say I'm sorry?)

Why can't you ever say that you were wrong?

(Why can't you ever say that you were wrong?)

Yeah, I know you got your demons

And they made you the victim

But I'm the daughter who needs a father

(I'm the daughter who needs a father)

I'm still a daughter (Still a daughter) who needs a father
