Sweet little girl, with nothing to say
She hides in the smile she wears on her face
The secrets of her, the family keeps
The secrets of him that blacken the sheep
She shakes at the sound of jingling keys
The man that she loves, the violent disease
'Cause when he's around, there's nothing to hide
She makes no sound as she swallows her pride
Daddy only comes when he's ready for more
She waits on the floor
She watches the door
And daddy only comes when he's begging for more
And just like before
He opens the door
Weigh your heart against my eyes
(Are you sober now, is it over?)
Weigh your heart against my eyes
(She'll be so let down when she's older)
Play her father when she cries
(Now she's so messed up, and she says-)
All I want is
Now he returns, like every time
With rum on his breath, and her on his mind
There's no one around to witness the crime
A scream won't sound past the property line
The man that she loves, the wicked offense
