No Father

It's like hands around her throat All alone You made her life harder How can you live with yourself? You are no father She deserved more than you You did something you can't undo She lies awake at night just thinking Why she wasn't good enough Is that what you call love? Or can you not see past your drinking? You were supposed to protect her Couldn't protect her from yourself And you called it 'building character' When you destroyed her mental health It's like hands around her throat All alone You made her life harder How can you live with yourself? You are no father Do you know the weight? She carries around with her every day How could you discard her? You are no father You'll never see the woman she became And you don't deserve to share a name And even though she's healing now There's damage done and you're to blame The scars you gave her She'll carry with her for the rest of her life But you won't remember a fucking thing By the end of the night It's like hands around her throat All alone You made her life harder How can you live with yourself? You are no father Do you know the weight? She carries around with her every day How could you discard her? You are no father Now you're just an old pig and you're ready for slaughter How does it feel to know you're hated by all four of your daughters? Bond over blood Hands around her throat All alone You made her life harder How can you live with yourself? It's like hands around her throat All alone You made her life harder How can you live with yourself? You are no father Do you know the weight? She carries around with her every day How could you discard her? You are no father
