Somebody’s Daughter

[Verse 1]
Drive fast on my way home with tears in my eyes
Haven't seen my mom in a long time
And I feel guilty, I know she missed me
Dad says I'm doing my best and we'll all be okay
But I don't know if he is these days
And I feel nauseous, wish I could stop this

[Verse 2]
They say don't ever meet your heroes
What if you see them every day
And start to think that they're just people
Hiding their hurt under a cape
Gave me my heart, taught me how to love
Now I'm trying my best not to mess it up, mm-mm
Sometimes I wish I had a hero

[Chorus]
Sometimes it's hard being somebody's daughter
There's always something keeping me up at night
If it ain't my mother then it's my father
They're killing me but at least they're alive
Sometimes it's hard turning wine into water
Try to grow up then my roots run dry
If it ain't my mother then it's my father
They're killing me but at least they're alive

[Verse 2]
It's strange how the roles change the older you get
First they keep you safe then you're the safety net
And it's hard to see it, but now I see it
'Cause my dad, he taught me to be strong and, I feel it being strong for him
And now my mom changes the subject when I ask how she's really been
Gave me a life that I wanna live
But every time I try I start worrying, mm-mm
I know this isn't what they wanted

[Chorus]
Sometimes it's hard being somebody's daughter
There's always something keeping me up at night
If it ain't my mother then it's my father
They're killing me but at least they're alive
Sometimes it's hard turning wine into water
Try to grow up then my roots run dry
If it ain't my mother then it's my father
They're killing me but at least they're alive

[Bridge]
They watched me take my first steps and run away from home
The least that I can do now, is just pick up the phone
And I wonder when it all ends then deep down I know
The most that I can lose now, is everything, everything, hmm

[Chorus]
Sometimes it's hard being somebody's daughter
There's always something keeping me up at night
If it ain't my mother then it's my father
They're killing me but at least they're alive
Sometimes it's hard turning wine into water
I try to grow up then my roots run dry
If it ain't my mother then it's my father
They're killing me but at least they're alive

[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh
