because of you

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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
