About Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)

"Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)" is a song by American actress and singer Lindsay Lohan from her second studio album A Little More Personal (Raw) (2005). The song was written by Lohan as a letter to her father Michael, who survived a car crash for which he was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol. Additional writing and production was done by Kara DioGuardi and Greg Wells, while Lohan recorded the song on her trailer during the shoot of Herbie: Fully Loaded. "Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)" was first previewed at AOL Music's First Listen on September 30, 2005, and was sent to radio in the United States on October 18, 2005, by Casablanca Records as the lead single from A Little More Personal (Raw). "Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)" received mixed reviews from music critics, who praised Lohan's conviction on the song, but considering it a cliché "I-hate-you-Daddy" lament. The song achieved mild commercial success, peaking at number 7 in Australia, number 74 in Austria, number 14 on the US Hot Digital Songs and at number 57 on Billboard Hot 100. An accompanying music video, directed by Lohan herself, portrays Lohan and her actual sister Aliana, listening to her parents arguing and fighting in the living room of their home. "Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)" was performed by Lohan at the American Music Awards of 2005.

I wait for the postman to bring me a letter
And 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?

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 dyin'
And these are, these are
The confessions of a broken heart

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?

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

I love you
I love you
I love you
I, I, I, I love you

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?
These are the confessions of a broken heart
Oh yeah

I wait for the postman to bring me a letter
