because of you

[Verse 1]
You thought it was for the best,
you just saw an easy way out and called it your best .
Passed me off to another man’s hands,
Like I was someone you couldn’t stand.
You act like I ruined your life,
But I was just trying to survive.
You gave me bruises I can’t show,
Now I flinch when people get too close.

[Pre-Chorus]
We had our talk, you said you’ve changed,
But the damage don’t fade, it just rearranged.
I forgive you cause I’m the one that’s really changed

[Chorus]
Yeah, I’ve got daddy issues, and they’re wearing your face,
Built these walls from all your mistakes.
You let me go when I needed a hand,
why am i so desperate for love, I don’t understand
You made me tough, you made me cold,
But I’m done living under your control.
Yeah, I’ve got daddy issues,
But at least they’re mine to own.

[Verse 2]
You never taught me how I should be loved
I was your little girl I was the one you should’ve loved.
Now I chase ghosts that look like you,
Hoping one might finally come through.
But I’m tired of the same damn song,
You messed me up, but I’m moving on.

[Bridge]
I’m not your broken little girl,
but i’ll be the fire you lit that burned your world.
You lost me once — you don’t get to pretend,
You were never the hero, 
but i guess fuck it let’s just pretend 

[Final Chorus]
Yeah, I’ve got daddy issues  for miles 
and they bleed through my smile,
But I’m healing loud and proud .
You let me go I had to eventually find my peace,
I forgive you, but I will never have your name.
You made me tough, you made me bold —
Im just a diamond that will never fit your mold.
Yeah, I’ve got daddy issues because of you
But I’m finally taking back control.
And after all, I still forgive you and love you
