Favourite Daughter Lyrics

[Intro]

Ah-ah

[Verse 1]

I was a singer

You were my fan

When no one gave a damn

It was you in the dark

Scared of your anger

In love with your whim

Some notes I don't hit

But I don't give up

[Pre-Chorus]

Now every day the plane takes off

And every night the room fills up with

People who are convinced I'm not

Just some kid fakin' it for your love

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm an actress, all of the medals I won for ya

Breaking my back just to be your favourite daughter

Everywhere I run, I'm always runnin' to ya

Breaking my back just hoping you'll say I'm a star

[Verse 2]

You had a brother, I look like him

You told us as kids

"He diеd of a broken heart"

And for evеry door you open

There's a room I can't go in

I break in, I still can't find you

[Pre-Chorus]

Now that every day the plane takes off

And every night the room fills up

I tell myself that soon we'll talk

Then I sing every word just to ya

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm an actress, all of the medals I won for ya

Panic attack just to be your favourite daughter

Everywhere I run, I'm always runnin' to ya

Breaking my back to carry the weight of your heart

[Bridge]

But I keep dancing 'til I get sick

Why'd you have to dream so big?

Why did no one listen when you hit the notes from your heart?

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah

[Chorus]

I'm a good actress, look at the medals that I won for ya

So you could imagine being a favourite daughter

Everywhere I run, I always run into ya

Breaking my back just to be as brave as my mother
