Oh, I wish my heart wasn't broken from the start

I never stood a fightin' chance

In all my days, from my cradle to my grave

I'll never have a father-daughter dance

[Verse 1]

There was always drama

I'm sorry I'm always so anxious

And I'm just sorry I'm fucked up

I really just don't know how to love, how to trust

I tried, but when I talk about him, I should probably cry, but

He's nothing, he's no one, a stranger

[Chorus]

Oh, I wish my heart wasn't broken from the start

I never stood a fightin' chance

In all my days, from my cradle to my grave

I'll never have a father-daughter dance

[Verse 2]

I'm never alone, but God, I'm so lonely

Fuck up my phone, hopin' 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 you did

And 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?

[Bridge]

Somebody to help with a flat tire

Somebody to walk me down the aisle

Somebody to help with a 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?

[Chorus]

Oh, I wish my heart wasn't broken from the start

I never really stood a fightin' chance

In all my days, from my cradle to my grave

I'll never have a father-daughter dance

[Outro]

And everyone has pain up to their eyes

I'm sure that at the time you tried your best

But all of this has made me who I am

Without that father-daughter dance
