(Verse 1) 
 
Riding the slopes down a hill of betrayal and lust 
The snow so unfriendly, the fire’s dying down on my trust  
Sitting in the lodge, drinking hot chocolate, wondering where you are 
Hopelessly hoping you can cover up all my scars 
 
The chairlift was lonely; it waited for you and for me 
But you never showed so I never really got to ski 
I sat in the lodge while the others went and had all their snow fun 
Then I built me a snowman, looking like you if you if you’d come 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Hey, dad 
It’s your daughter, Karianne 
Your abandonment had 
Left me scarred, torn, and bruising 
Your constant abusing  
It was my bad 
 
Hey, dad 
I’m off my rocker just a tad 
It ain’t so bad 
But you’re ruthlessly ruthless  
The vomit on my dress 
And that is that 
I’m kind of sad 
 
(Verse 2) 
 
Well maybe it’s me, maybe I am the reason you left 
But dad, it hurts me so damn bad, I just want to take my last breath 
Dry-heaving on a dry desert filled with rattlesnakes  
And I would drink some water but I just want to test my fate 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Hey, dad 
It’s your daughter, Karianne 
Your abandonment had 
Left me scarred, torn, and bruising 
Your constant abusing  
It was my bad 
 
Hey, dad 
I’m off my rocker just a tad 
It ain’t so bad 
But you’re ruthlessly ruthless  
The vomit on my dress 
And that is that 
I’m kind of sad 
 
(Bridge) 
 
You were my safe space
