These are the words
I don't have the courage to write
Scratch out the verse
Reliving the worst goodbye
I'm scared when you hear it
You look at me different
I just don't know how else
To get you to listen
I don't remember 17
The day you left is all I see
And mama cries she cries for me
At 23 I'm still confused
How you're someone I had to lose
I wanna be the one you choose
You're just a stranger dressed like a father
I can't hold on any longer
I'm just a girl who once was your daughter
I can't hold on any longer
'Cause it's the same old conversation
Like I'm some stupid obligation
I gave you every ounce of patience
Every part of me is aching
Three broken hearts for one decision
I'm sorry that I'm distant
You shared your bed and want forgiveness
But I can't give it 'cause I lift it
Climb on your toes
Here we go dancing in our living room
Acting on movies
Only because you knew I wanted to
Now you miss every birthday
Show love in the worst way
Don't show up in the first place
I heard you moved up to the snow
You built yourself a pretty home
You got it all and I'm alone
They say you found a better life
Should I be happy for the lie?
A sorry would be nice
You're just a stranger dressed like a father
I can't hold on any longer
I'm just a girl who once was your daughter
I can't hold on any longer
'Cause it's the same old conversation
Like I'm some stupid obligation
I gave you every ounce of patience
Every part of me is aching
Three broken hearts for one decision
I'm sorry that I'm distant
You shared your bed and want forgiveness
But I can't give it 'cause I lift it
You gave me away way before the aisle
I know you can change and I'm in denial
You know that one cliche that they always say
First loves always go away
But this first love was meant to stay
You gave me away way before the aisle
I know you can change and I'm in denial
You know that one cliche that they always say
First loves always go away
But this first love
This first love was supposed to stay
