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

[Verse 1]
There was always drama
I'm sorry I'm always so anxious
And I'm just sorry I'm fucked up
I really just don't know how to love, how to trust
I tried, but when I talk about him, I should probably cry, but
He's nothing, he's no one, a stranger

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

[Verse 2]
I'm never alone, but God, I'm so lonely
Fuck up my phone, hopin' 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 you did
And 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?

[Bridge]
Somebody to help with a flat tire
Somebody to walk me down the aisle
Somebody to help with a 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?

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

[Outro]
And everyone has pain up to their eyes
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

Kesha

Kesha Rose Sebert, whose mononymous stage name was previously spelled Ke$ha, is an American singer-songwriter best known for hits like “Tik Tok” and “Praying.” Her mother, Pebe Sebert is also a songwriter, and the two have worked together on songs like “Learn to Let Go.”

In 2005, at age eighteen, Kesha signed a record deal with Dr. Luke’s Kemosabe Records. Her first major recording was an uncredited feature on Flo Rida’s 2009 hit “Right ‘Round,” which she recorded after walking into a session between Flo and Dr. Luke. She released her debut album, Animal, the next year, after choosing from hundreds of songs, and the record debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Lead single “Tik Tok” broke the record for the longest time for a female artist’s debut single to top the Billboard Hot 100.

Nine months after Animal dropped, Kesha rereleased it alongside Cannibal, an extended play featuring hits like “We R Who We R,” which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and “Blow.” In February 2011, Kesha kicked off her Get Sleazy Tour, which travelled through the Americas, Europe, and Australia. During the tour, she began writing for her sophomore album, Warrior, which was released in November 2012. She then embarked on a world tour, and was joined by future “Timber” collaborator Pitbull on the North American leg.
