Daddy my Heart is broken, they managed to split me open
I wore my heart on my sleeve but tears washed it away
Daddy my heart is broken
People fail, even that father that you gave me
Wounds they heal, now these scars are just stories
He never hit me but those words seem to penetrate
If I told him that I know he would just masquerade it
Call me Ugly, call me mean, call me overweight
But say you don't really love me, well that's different
He said he's sorry but daddy I cannot compare his kind of love to yours
You died for me and claimed me there.
Abuse is a word we throw around so lightly
But abuse was my name now it's my testimony.
Daddy my Heart is broken, they managed to split me open
I wore my heart on my sleeve but tears washed it away
Daddy my heart is broken
At eighteen, another boy, another heartbreak
Nine months and two weeks couldn't make me stay
I gave him everything that had value inside of me
All my fears and doubts, my innocence and purity
Mistakes can be made and sometimes they're okay
But regrets are mistakes I wish would go away
Daddy my Heart is broken, they managed to split me open
I wore my heart on my sleeve but tears washed it away
Daddy my heart is broken
You said love is patient, love is kind
But love was passive, it was blind
It was envious and proud, self-seeking, not found
Love was broken, left me wide open
I searched for something, when there was nothing
Daddy my heart's been broken, would you put it back in motion
Keep it safe till the right man knows how to hold it
Daddy I don't wanna be broken
