hollowed harmony - fathers daughter lyrics
(verse 1)
when i was younger, i thought you were my hero
you’d hold me close, never let me down
but i got older, and you got colder
pushed me away without a sound
now you want back in — say you want to make things right
but you’re the one who chose to walk out of my life
(pre+chorus)
i get angry at myself and the world
i look in the mirror and just see that girl
i snap in frustration at a moment’s notice
then shut out the ones who try to get closest
i guess i am…
(chorus)
my father’s daughter — thought i was smarter
than letting you define me
i keep my distance, but your voice still lives inside me
you left a long time ago, but the seed you planted grows
and i’ll always be…
my father’s daughter
(verse 2)
i remember when i was nine years old
you laughed like i was comedy gold
but i turned fifteen, tried to use my voice
you shut me down — said i didn’t have a choice
you yelled, i cried, you walked away
and still, i carry that every day
(pre+chorus)
i get angry at myself and the world
i look in the mirror and still see that girl
i snap in frustration at a moment’s notice
then shut out the ones who try to get closest
i guess i am…
(chorus)
my father’s daughter — thought i was smarter
than letting you define me
i keep my distance, but your voice still lives inside me
you left a long time ago, but the seed you planted grows
and i’ll always be…
my father’s daughter
(verse 3)
at sixteen, mom and i started therapy
trying to fix our fractured chemistry
we asked you to come — i wrote you a letter
hoped, maybe, things could get better
“dear dad, i know you say you love me
but why does work always come above me?
i did a show, i was sure you’d be proud
but you skipped it — didn’t even come around
i thought, ‘why do i still expect you to show?’
you’ve never been the broadway type, i know
but you’re my dad — you’re supposed to be there
i’m your kid — you’re supposed to care
couldn’t you spare just a few minutes for me?”
but you never came to that session
(chorus)
i’m my father’s daughter — thought i was stronger
than letting you define me
but i still flinch when your ghost walks silently behind me
you left a long time ago, but the seed you planted shows
and i’ll always be…
my father’s daughter
