Lyrics

A lone,

list less,

break fast ta ble in an oth er wise emp ty room.

Young girl,

vi (C)o lence,

cen ter of her own at ten tion.

But

moth er (C)reads a loud; child tries to (C)un der stand it,

(C)tries to make her (G)proud.

The shades go (Em)down, it’s in her head.

Paint ed room,

can’t de ny

some thing’s wrong.

Don’t call me daugh ter, not fit to.

The pic ture kept will re (C)mind

(G)me.

Don’t call me daugh ter, not fit to.

The pic ture kept will re (C)mind

(G)me.

Don’t call me.

She holds the hand that holds

her down.

She will

rise a (G)bove.

Don’t call me daugh ter, not fit to.

The pic ture kept will re mind

me.

Don’t call me daugh ter, not fit to.

The pic ture kept will re mind

me.

Don’t call me daugh ter,

The shades go

down.

The shades go

down.

The shades go

down.

The shades go

down.

down.
