Father’s Daughter - honeyhoney

I’m getting older now

But I’m younger than you when you took out the house

I’m resting my head where I can

Calling the devil and demons to stay

Outta my way every night

Darkness to me almost looks like a light

And I know I’m in high water

If I’m my father’s daughter

And I am

There’s some things I don’t care to see

The frame of your mouth when it’s lying to me

So I’ll close my eyes to the sight

And picture an angel who fights the good fight

Oh wishing that I was someone

Giving the lesson to know how to love

I know I’m in high water

If I’m my father’s daughter

And I am

Who am I to treat you this way?

Air out my teeth and bleed you of grace

You are mine, and I’m yours just the same

Oh and I wouldn’t trade it for anything

No, I wouldn’t trade it for anything

I’ll say what I’ll say and I’ll mean it

I’ll find peace of mind from my pain and you’ve seen it

Cause I am a woman with childish ways

Kicking and screaming and waiting for your embrace

Chasing me all round the yard

You know I’m running to make this hard

You know I’m in high water

If I’m my father’s daughter

And I know I’m in high water

If I’m my father’s daughter

And I am

I am
