Daddy - Badflower.mp3

[00:00.000] Sweet little girl, with nothing to say
[00:03.876] She hides in the smile she wears on her face
[00:08.047] The secrets of her, the family keeps
[00:11.939] The secrets of him that blacken the sheep
[00:15.864] She shakes at the sound of jingling keys
[00:19.942] The man that she loves, the violent disease
[00:24.061] 'Cause when he's around, there's nothing to hide
[00:28.042] She makes no sound as she swallows her pride
[00:31.911] Daddy only comes when he's ready for more
[00:36.029] She waits on the floor
[00:37.850] She watches the door
[00:40.087] And daddy only comes when he's begging for more
[00:43.730] And just like before
[00:45.754] He opens the door
[00:48.519] Weigh your heart against my eyes
[00:53.008] (Are you sober now, is it over?)
[00:56.408] Weigh your heart against my eyes
[01:00.606] (She'll be so let down when she's older)
[01:04.065] Play her father when she cries
[01:08.570] (Now she's so messed up, and she says-)
[01:11.897] All I want is
[01:16.017] Now he returns, like every time
[01:19.935] With rum on his breath, and her on his mind
[01:23.820] There's no one around to witness the crime
[01:27.860] A scream won't sound past the property line
[01:31.819] The man that she loves, the wicked offense
[01:35.995] She takes the attention, suppresses the rest
[01:39.933] Emotion and pain, it can't be disguised
[01:44.218] The smaller she feels, the bigger she cries
[01:48.097] And daddy gives it all 'cause he loves you the most
[01:51.886] He's stretching your clothes
[01:53.762] You're clenching your toes
[01:55.961] He says he gives it all 'cause he loves you the most
[01:59.677] He's holding you close
[02:01.733] His hands on your throat
[02:04.426] Weigh your heart against my eyes
[02:08.568] (Are you sober now, is it over?)
[02:12.075] Weigh your heart against my eyes
[02:16.420] (She'll be so let down when she's older)
[02:19.872] Play her father when she cries
[02:24.595] (Now she's so messed up, and she says-)
[02:28.082] All I want is you
[02:36.127] All I want is
[02:41.264] Now she's of age, and he's on his last
[02:44.054] But nothing can heal the scars of her past
[02:47.764] She feels so alone and angry, because
[02:51.878] She sees him the way the family does
[02:55.874] So late in the night, her eyes seeing red
[02:59.936] And daddy lay sick on the hospital bed
[03:04.004] She creeps in the room with a bag in her hand
[03:07.899] And smothers the face of a terrible man
[03:11.871] If daddy only stopped when she begged him before
[03:16.123] He'd be so much more
[03:17.837] She'd be so much more
[03:20.070] If daddy only stopped when she begged him before
[03:23.895] Weigh your heart against my eyes
[03:28.516] (Are you sober now, is it over?)
[03:31.969] Weigh your heart against my eyes
[03:36.457] (And she's so let down, now she's older)
[03:39.907] Play his daughter when he lies
[03:44.563] (Now you're so messed up, and he says-)
[03:47.969] All I want is you
[03:53.747] (Now you're so messed up, and he says-)
[03:56.173] All I want is you
[04:00.734] (And she's so let down when he lies)
[04:04.326] All I want is
