Basement
No, please don't, daddy
Please get away
I don't want to play that game
No, please don't, daddy
Please get away
I don't want to play that game
She wakes up late at night in a cold sweat
Oh god, is it done? Is it over yet
How long till these dreams go away
Over and over exactly the same
Like a movie stuck in her brain
Pictures taken of pleasure and pain
Pleasure for him, but pain for her
She wonders what she did to deserve
A life like this
A night like this
A plight like this
To hide like this
What kind of man treats his own daughter like this
Sometimes she wishes she didn't exist
So she splashes cold water on her face
But there's nothing she can do to erase
The pain and the torment that wrings her inside
Some wounds can't heal with time
Oh, no. What did I do
I took my life cause you
Stole innocence from me
Why can't you let me be
I was only thirteen
So wholesome and clean
Till you came along and took that from me
You raped it from me
Till I couldn't breathe
I wanted to scream
But you couldn't see
All the things you were taking from me
The girl you were breaking for greed
Only concerned with your own sick pleasures
Your fantasies, erotically pursued endeavors
Uh oh, and now I'm dead
A bullet's in my head
Because of what you said
It's time to go to bed
No, please don't, daddy
Please get away
I don't want to play that game
No, please don't, daddy
Please get away
I don't want to play that game
No, please don't, daddy
Please get away
I don't want to play that game
No, please don't, daddy
Please get away
I don't want to play that game
Please, oh please
Just let her go
Just let her go
Please, oh please
Just let me know
Why did you do this to me
It's 3 AM
I'm up again
I can still feel your fingers on my skin
I can still feel so guilty for your sin
For all the things you did
I know it's not my fault
But that does not resolve
The hurt I feel inside
The secrets I must hide
Yes, I've got a secret
Will you keep it?
I was touched by my father in our basement
And yes, I was still just a child
But that didn't keep him from going wild
Cause he'd been having dreams
Of roughly taking me
Where no one else could see
To show me secret things
No, please don't, daddy
Please get away
I don't want to play that game
No, please don't, daddy
Please get away
I don't want to play that game
I don't want to play that game
Please, oh please
Just let her go
Just let her go
Please, oh please
Just let me know
Why did you do this to me
Please, oh please
Just let her go
Just let her go
Please, oh please
Just let me know
Why did you do this to me
Please get away
I don't want to play that game
No, please don't, daddy
Please get away
I don't want to play that game
She wakes up late at night in a cold sweat
Oh god, is it done? Is it over yet
How long till these dreams go away
Over and over exactly the same

Please, oh please
Just let her go
Just let her go
Please, oh please
Just let me know
Why did you do this to me
