[Verse]
Whose fault is it, if I didn’t say no?
If I let him do his damndest on me?
Who takes blame when I wake up in the wreckage
Of shaking hands and knees?

[Chorus]
Lord, don’t send me a daughter
I can’t teach her how to be strong
Is it breaking down in the dark
Getting mad, or moving on?

[Verse]
Whose fault is it, if they holler in the streets
And I can’t even reply?
‘Cause I’m feelin’ small and today’s already heavy
And I’m not lookin’ for a fight

[Chorus]
Lord, don’t send me a daughter
I can’t teach her how to be strong
Is it breaking down in the dark
Getting mad, or moving on?

[Bridge]
Man, oh man
Look what you've done
Man, oh man
Look what you've done
Man, oh man
Look what you've done
Well, what kind of man just uses someone
And throws them away?
[Chorus]
Lord, don’t send me a daughter
I can’t teach her how to be strong
While I’m breaking down in the dark
Getting mad and trying to move on

[Chorus 2]
Lord, don’t send me a girl
I can only hold her for so long
‘Fore she’s broken down in the dark
Gets mad and learns to move on
