Demi Lovato - For the Love of a Daughter Lyrics Meaning

This song is a song about her childhood and her splochy relationship with her dad.
Her dad WAS an abusive alcoholic. she had to watch as he beat her mom and over-drank, as her parents fought, and as her family fell to bits.

She's never had a great relationship with her father, she's asking her father to think about all he's screwed up and all whom he's lost, begging him, even though it may be too late now, to rethink his actions and love her as his daughter yet again.

She's asking her father if simply loving his daughter is a good enough reason to give up his addiction to alcohol and cease his abusive actions!

AMAZING, TOUCHING, RELATABLE (FOR SOME) SONG!
