Waltz for My Daughter Lyrics by Maggie Teachout

Maybe I’m Still Just Peter

2019

[Verse 1]
Someday
Your face
Will be covered in tear streaks and tan lines
Someday
Your pain
Will be mine
Someday
I’ll wake
And you’ll have run away
And I’ll stay
And I’ll wait
For your letters
[Chorus]
Because no daughter of mine
Will ever let anyone say that she’s worthless
And no daughter of mine
Will stay down
Instead of letting you kick my door in
If I were my daughter, what would I say to myself?
[Verse 2]
I will let you be angry at me
And be angry at you
I will let you run far away
If you phone once a day
I will never let you lose yourself to someone who doesn’t care
I will never stop loving you
[Chorus]
Because no daughter of mine
Will ever let anyone say that she’s worthless
And no daughter of mine
Will stay down
Instead of letting you kick my door in
If I were my daughter, what would I say to myself?
[Bridge]
Ohhhh
Ohhhh
Ohhhh
Ohhhh
[Verse 1 Repeated]
Someday
Your face
Will be covered in tear streaks and tan lines
Someday all of your pain will be mine
Someday
I’ll wake
And you’ll have run away
And I’ll stay
And I’ll wait
For your letters
[Chorus]
Because no daughter of mine
Will ever let anyone say that she’s worthless
And no daughter of mine
Will stay down
Instead of letting you kick my door in
If I were my daughter, what would I say to myself?
[Outro]
If I were my daughter, what would I say to myself?
