Daughter
We fight, like kids
I’m on your level in a heartbeat
It’s was always like this
I have more experience
I have been where you are
I know how you feel
Why do you ask
If you don’t want to know
If you don’t want an answer
Let me protect you
Help you through this
Do my job
Where you are concerned
I want what’s best
I can’t turn my head, my heart
You manipulate, and avoid
That is what you always do
I know this about you, always have
You always want to run
Take the easy way out
Give in and give up
I won’t let you this time
I can’t do it this time
And I won’t let you
So I push and I push hard
Just like when you were little
That daughter, will never change
