preacher's daughter

she had a habit tht she couldnt really stop

needed money so she had to hit the block

nobody knew it so

she steady had to play a role

went to church

but surely tearin up her soul

she'd repent sometimes

then she'd press rewind

started over messin up her life

couldn't cope so she had to hit a knee slow

started prayin to the lord

she was a

preacher's daughter

sendin herself the tears

a preachers daughter so she had common sense

it's ashamed the way her life went

he's too busy though

steady savin souls

to realize he lost one of his own

full of pain and stuck out in the dark

i even

heard

her father made his mark

now she's confused

now she's about to lose everything she thought she

ever owned

preacher's daughter

sendin herself the tears

its a shame she couldnt make a way out now im sittin here twiddlin

my thumbs cause her life is gone and her kids are gone and she lost everything

and see her own father

was a preacher but he couldnt pray for her cause he was too busy prayin for everybody else and layin

hands on all the women in the congregation

but i guess thats what goes on when you walk right and

perfect and your whole house seems to be perfect

and behind closed doors

everybody suffers from some

kind of demon but nobody knows it

until it all unvails itself

your own daughter is out there locked out

in the dark she was a preachers daughter

help me lord

help me lord

help me lord

i need you right now

i need you daddy

could

you hear me prayin

don't you hear me prayin

i need you

say i need you i

don't know what to do

i'm

dyin inside

i can't stop the tears from fallin

i

need you i need you i need you daddy

oh i need you
