Father Daughter Dance Lyrics

Oh I wish my heart wasn't broken from the start
I never stood a fighting chance
In all my days, from my cradle to my grave
I'll never have a father-daughter dance

It was always drama
I'm sorry I'm always so anxious and numb
Just sorry I'm fucked up
I really just don't know how to love, how to trust
I try but when I talk about him
I should probably cry but
He's nothing, he's no one, a stranger

Oh I wish my heart wasn't broken from the start
I never stood a fighting chance
In all my days, from my cradle to my grave
I'll never have a father-daughter dance

I'm never alone
But, God, I'm so lonely
I fuck with my phone
Hoping it'll help me with my anxiety
But it don't
I don't even know if I wanna have kids
I don't wanna fuck 'em up the way he did
Sometimes I wonder, if I'd had a dad
Would he have protected me
From all the bad shit, the bad men?
Would I even be the same person?

Somebody to help with the flat tire
Somebody to walk me down the aisle
Somebody to help with the flat tire
Somebody to walk me down the aisle
The worst part of this is I'm not even sad
How do I miss something I never had?

Oh I wish my heart wasn't broken from the start
I never really stood a fighting chance
In all my days, from my cradle to my grave
I'll never have a father-daughter dance

Yet everyone who has pain don't turn to ice
I'm sure that at the time you tried your best
But all of this has made me who I am

Without that father-daughter dance

What is the Meaning of Father Daughter Dance?

Ever felt like you were handed a script for a drama you never auditioned for? Kesha's emotional ballad dives into the void left by an absent father, making it clear she didn't get the memo on how to love and trust. With lyrics that double as therapy notes, she laments missing out on quintessential moments like a father-daughter dance. Her heart’s been shattered from day one, and while she's surrounded by people, loneliness clings tighter than her phone. The song questions if having a dad would've shielded her from life's villains or changed who she is today. Yet, in true Kesha fashion, she owns her scars—no dance required.
