  • Oh I wish my heart wasn't broken from the start
    I never stood a fighting chance
    In all my days, from my cradle to my grave
    I'll never have a father-daughter dance

    It was always drama
    I'm sorry I'm always so anxious and numb
    Just sorry I'm fucked up
    I really just don't know how to love, how to trust
    I try but when I talk about him
    I should probably cry but
    He's nothing, he's no one, a stranger

    Oh I wish my heart wasn't broken from the start
    I never stood a fighting chance
    In all my days, from my cradle to my grave
    I'll never have a father-daughter dance

    I'm never alone
    But, God, I'm so lonely
    I fuck with my phone
    Hoping it'll help me with my anxiety
    But it don't
    I don't even know if I wanna have kids
    I don't wanna fuck 'em up the way he did
    Sometimes I wonder, if I'd had a dad
    Would he have protected me
    From all the bad shit, the bad men?
    Would I even be the same person?

    Somebody to help with the flat tire
    Somebody to walk me down the aisle
    Somebody to help with the flat tire
    Somebody to walk me down the aisle
    The worst part of this is I'm not even sad
    How do I miss something I never had?

    Oh I wish my heart wasn't broken from the start
    I never really stood a fighting chance
    In all my days, from my cradle to my grave
    I'll never have a father-daughter dance

    Yet everyone who has pain don't turn to ice
    I'm sure that at the time you tried your best
    But all of this has made me who I am
