[Verse 1]
I'm not the villain in your story
I'm not the bad guy in the hall
I'm not the reason you're unhappy
I'm not a monster at all
I'm not the place to place your blame
For all your failures and regret

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm just a daughter
Who needs a father
I'm just a daughter
Who needs a father

[Chorus]
Why can't you ever say "I'm sorry"?
Why can't you ever say that you were wrong?
Yeah, I know you got your demons
And they made you the victim
But I'm the daughter who needs a father
Yeah, I'm the daughter who needs a father

[Verse 2]
You wanted me to save you, be the hero in your life
With a devoted and perfect love to help make everything alright
But I grew up and became the kid that you raised
With opinions of my own who made my own safe
So daughter, who needs a father
You're not just be the daughter
And you be the father
[Chorus]
Why can't you ever say "I'm sorry"?
Why can't you ever say that you were wrong?
Yeah, I know you got your demons
And they made you the victim
But I'm the daughter who needs a father
Yeah, I'm a daughter, oh, who needs a father

[Bridge]
After all that's said and done
Would you rather have my love?
Would you rather win the fight?
Would you rather just be right?

[Chorus]
Why can't you ever say I'm sorry?
(Why can't you ever say I'm sorry?)
Why can't you ever say that you were wrong?
(Why can't you ever say that you were wrong?)
Yeah, I know you got your demons
And they made you the victim
But I'm the daughter who needs a father
(I'm the daughter who needs a father)
I'm still a daughter (Still a daughter) who needs a father
