[Verse 1]
I wait for the postman
To bring me a letter
I wait for the good Lord
To make me feel better
And I carry the weight of the world
On my shoulders
A family in crisis
That only grows older
Why'd you have to go?
Why'd you have to go?
Why'd you have to go?

[Chorus]
Daughter to father
Daughter to father
I am broken
But I am hoping
Daughter to father
Daughter to father
I am cryin'
A part of me's dying
But these are
These are
The confessions of a broken heart

[Verse 2]
And I wear all your old clothes
Your polo sweater
I dream of another you
One who would never
Never leave me alone to pick up the pieces
A daddy to hold me
That's what I needed
So why'd you have to go?
Why'd you have to go?
Why'd you have to go?

[Chorus]
Daughter to father
Daughter to father
I don't know you
But I still want to
Daughter to father
Daughter to father
Tell me the truth
Did you ever love me?
'Cause these are
These are
The confessions of a broken heart
Of a broken heart

[Bridge]
I... love you
I... love you
I... love you
I...
I love you

[Chorus]
Daughter to father
Daughter to father
I don't know you
But I still want to
Daughter to father
Daughter to father
Tell me the truth
Did you ever love me?
Did you ever love me?

[Refrain]
These are
The confessions of a broken heart
Ooh, yeah

[Outro]
I wait for the postman
To bring me a letter

Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan (born July 2, 1986) is an American actress, singer and songwriter. Lindsay entered the world of show business at the tender age of three as a Ford model, which led to several television commercials. She did more television work as she grew up, including Disney Channel movies. Lindsay’s Disney connection, which included starring as the twins in a remake of The Parent Trap, continued into her teens and helped her expand her career into along with co-starring with Jamie Lee Curtis in 2003’s Freaky Friday, she also performed the movie’s closing song, “Ultimate”. The following year, Lindsay starred in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and contributed four songs to its soundtrack.

Buoyed by these successes as well as her starring role in Mean Girls, Lindsay hosted the 2004 MTV Movie Awards and won an award for Female Breakout Star. She also signed to Tommy Mottola’s Casablanca Records, releasing an aptly-titled lead single “Rumors” to her debut album, Speak, in December of 2004, with the full-length receiving a Platinum certification in the United States. The next year saw celebrity start to catch up with Lindsay after she become the ultimate Hollywood tabloid magnet. While she continued her relationship with Disney, filming a remake of Fully Loaded, Internet and tabloid rumors spread about everything from her health and love life to her late-night party habits.

By the end of 2005, Lindsay’s persona as the wild and damaged teen siren – whatever its ratio of truth to fiction – had outshone her accomplishments as an actress and a singer. And it was into this caustic tabloid climate that she released her Gold-certified second album, A Little More Personal (Raw), which featured “Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)” – a letter to her father addressing his alcoholism and domestic abuse. Later that year, Lindsay was switched from Casablanca to Motown Records by Universal Music Group. Though she focused more on her film career in 2006 and 2007 (co-starring with the likes of Meryl Streep, Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda) and continued to have a swirl of tabloid attention and media controversy around her, she planned work on a third album that never materialized, releasing a single “Bossy” produced by Ne-Yo and Stargate in 2008, which topped the US Dance chart.
