Daughter Lyrics

I hate feeling so alone, I hate feeling
I hate feeling like I don't have a home

You came and went and took a piece of me
When all I ever wanted was to rest in peace
Being left alone, having room to breathe
Exhausted and waiting for my turn to speak

I need to get this off my chest
I need to gain some self-respect
I need to listen to my friends
I need to learn to love like Him

This weight on my conscience has left me self-conscious
I don't want to go through this again

I just want to get used to the silence
Stop acting like I've been dealt by a bad hand
No more longing for her love in my bloodstream I swear I'll never place my faith there again

I'm giving this to the cross for the last time
For some apparent peace of mind that I can't find
You're still the only thing I see when I sleep
You're still the only thing I pray I can keep

But now I see, you're not a thing
Not designed to belong to me
To medicate my uncertainty
You're made to fill empty graves with her love
Remind His daughters that His heart is enough

I'm alright with the exile I face
I'll be fine as I bathe in His grace
Drifting apart has our yearning is severed
But when I dream we both pray together
