“Daddy Issues”
Verse 1
Woman with those young girl eyes
Starving for attention, craving time
Just wanted arms that felt like home
But I got used to being all alone
So I settle for the wrong kind of love
Broken hearts dressed up in late-night drugs
Young boys lost, no plans in sight
Older men who only stay one night
Pre-Chorus
Got me standing at a crossroads, asking where to go
Looking for a safe place, but I keep chasing ghosts
Chorus
Yeah, I got these daddy issues messing with my brain
Running through the city in the pouring rain
A girl should be chasing all her wildest dreams
College plans and movie scenes
But instead I’m somebody’s secret flame
Trying to find love in all the wrong names
Yeah, I got these daddy issues driving me insane
Daddy issues messing with my brain
Verse 2
Big Casanova with that silver tongue
Hunts innocence just for fun
Makes you feel like you’re the only one
Till the morning comes and then he’s gone
I was supposed to be young and free
Laughing with my friends, just being me
But I’m out here trying to fill a space
With temporary love I can’t replace
Pre-Chorus
Got me standing at a crossroads, asking where to go
Searching for a father in the hearts that I don’t know
Chorus
Yeah, I got these daddy issues messing with my brain
Running through the city in the pouring rain
A girl should be chasing all her wildest dreams
College plans and movie scenes
But instead I’m somebody’s secret flame
Trying to find love in all the wrong names
Yeah, I got these daddy issues driving me insane
Daddy issues messing with my brain
Bridge
Maybe I was just a little girl
Looking for love in a grown-up world
Maybe all I ever wanted was to feel enough
Instead of breaking just to feel some love
Final Chorus
Yeah, I got these daddy issues—but I’m breaking chains
Learning I don’t need somebody else to ease my pain
Now I’m chasing all my wildest dreams
Writing my own movie scenes
No more being somebody’s hidden name
No more giving love away in shame
Yeah, I had these daddy issues messing with my brain
But they won’t define me the same
