Bm
Four years old
A G D
With my back to the door
Bm
All I could hear
A G D
Was the family war
Bm
Your selfish hands
A G D
Always expecting more
Bm
Am I your child
A G D
Or just a charity award
Bm
You have a hollowed out heart
A
But it's heavy in your chest
Em
I try so hard to fight it but it's hopeless

Hopeless
Em
You're hopeless
[Refrão]

Please, father

It's been five years
A G D
Since we spoke last
Bm
You can't take back
A G D
What we never had
Bm
Oh I can be manipulated
A G D
Only so many times
Bm
Before even "I love you"
A G D
Starts to sound like a lie
Bm
You have a hollowed out heart
A
But it's heavy in your chest
Em
I try so hard to fight it but it's hopeless
Bm A
Hopeless
Em
You're hopeless

Don't you remember
I'm your baby girl

How could you push me
Out of your world

Light to your flash and your blood
Em
Put your hands on the ones
That you swore you loved

Don't you remember
I'm your baby girl

How could you throw me
Right out of your world

So young when the pain had begun

Now forever afraid of being alone
