Daddy – Badflower – letras

Sweet little girl, with nothing to sayShe hides in the smileShe wears on her facethe secrets of her, the family keepsThe secrets of him thatBlacken the sheepShe shakes at the soundOf jingling keysThe man that she lovesThe violent disease’Cause when he’s aroundThere’s nothing to hideShe makes no sound asShe swallows her prideAnd daddy only comes whenHe’s ready for moreShe waits on the floorShe watches the doorAnd daddy only comes whenHe’s begging for moreAnd just like beforeHe opens the doorWeigh your heart against my eyes(Are you sober now, is it over?)Weigh your heart against my eyes(She’ll be so let down when she’s older)Play her father when she cries(Now she’s so messed up, and she says-)All I want isNow he returns, like every timeWith rum on his breath, and her on his mindThere’s no one around to witness the crimeA scream won’t sound past the property lineThe man that she loves, the wicked offenseShe takes the attention, suppresses the restEmotion and pain, it can’t be disguisedThe smaller she feels, the bigger she criesAnd daddy gives it all’Cause he loves you the mostHe’s stretching your clothesYou’re clenching your toesHe says he gives it all’Cause he loves you the mostHe’s holding you closeHis hands on your throatWeigh your heart against my eyes(Are you sober now, is it over?)Weigh your heart against my eyes(She’ll be so let down when she’s older)Play her father when she cries(Now she’s so messed up, and she says)All I want is youAll I want isNow she’s of age, and he’s on his lastBut nothing can heal the scars of her pastShe feels so alone and angry, becauseShe sees him the way the family doesSo late in the night, her eyes seeing redAnd daddy lay sick on the hospital bedShe creeps in the room with a bag in her handAnd smothers the face of a terrible manIf daddy only stopped whenShe begged him beforeHe’d be so much moreShe’d be so much moreIf daddy only stoppedWhen she begged him beforeWeigh your heart against my eyes(Are you sober now, is it over?)Weigh your heart against my eyes(And she’s so let down, now she’s older)Play his daughter when he lies(Now you’re so messed up, and he says)All I want is you(Now you’re so messed up, and he says)All I want is you(And she’s so let down when he lies)All I want is
