My Daddy Thinks You're Scum Lyrics

Late night phone calls with a whispered sigh

Mama in the kitchen, daddy pacing by

Said that boy's trouble can't you see

He's not the one who'll keep you free

And daddy's never been wrong

Felt it deep where his heart's so strong

All those smooth words felt like you were kind

But as the days went by, I saw the real you

Your mask started slipping with every petty ruse

Now my mama told me, honey be strong

You don't need to linger where you don't belong

And my daddy thinks you're scum and he's never wrong

Oh, I thought you knew

He's been whispering sweet lies, it's true

Been telling tales just to reel you through

You know it's true

My daddy thinks you're scum

He's been saying you've just come undone

But girl, you deserve so much more

Than a love that's built on a shaky floor

Pack your bags and walk out that door

It's time to find what you're looking for

My daddy thinks you're scum and so do I

We deserve a love that won't wave goodbye

My heart's been heavy but the truth came to light

A spark once so bright but now it don't feel right

Mama trying tears, daddy held my hand tight

They both saw through you through the darkest night

You played your games but now the rules have changed

I'm taking back my life

Breaking from your chains

Gonna find my strength, putting myself first

Breaking free from all that hurt

In the rearview, I'll leave you behind

Seeking out my peace of mind

Reclaiming dreams you've tried to prize

Won't fall for any more sweet lies
