Daddy Lyrics by Badflower

OK, I’M SICK

2019

[Verse 1]
Sweet little girl, with nothing to say
She hides in the smile she wears on her face
The secrets of her the family keeps
The secrets of him that blacken the sheep
She shakes at the sound of jingling keys
The man that she loves, the violent disease
'Cause when he’s around, there's nothing to hide
She makes no sound as she swallows her pride

[Pre-Chorus]
And Daddy only comes when he's ready for more
She waits on the floor, she watches the door
And Daddy only comes when he’s begging for more
And just like before he opens the door

[Chorus]
Weigh 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...

[Verse 2]
Now he returns like every time
With rum on his breath and her on his mind
There's no one around to witness the crime
A scream won't sound past the property line
The man that she loves, the wicked offense
She takes the attention, suppresses the rest
Emotion and pain, it can't be disguised
The smaller she feels, the bigger she cries

[Pre-Chorus]
And Daddy gives it all 'cause he loves you the most
He’s stretching your clothes, you’re clenching your toes
He says he gives it all 'cause he loves you the most
He’s holding you close, his hands on your throat

[Chorus]
Weigh 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 you
All I want is...

[Bridge]
Now she’s of age, and he's on his last
But nothing can heal the scars of her past
She feels so alone and angry, because
She sees him the way the family does
So late in the night, her eyes seeing red
And Daddy lay sick on the hospital bed
She creeps in the room with a bag in her hand
And smothers the face of a terrible man
If Daddy only stopped when she begged him before
He'd be so much more, she'd be so much more
If Daddy only stopped when she begged him before

[Chorus]
Weigh 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 he's so messed up, and he says)
All I want is you
(Now he's so messed up, and he says)
All I want is you
(And she's so let down when he lies)
All I want is...
