Daughters Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Verse 1]
I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
But she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I've done all I can
To stand on the steps with my heart in my hand
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me
[Chorus]
Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too
[Verse 2]
Oh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left
Cleaning up the mess he made
[Chorus]
So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too
[Bridge 1]
Boys, you can break
You find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without warmth from
A woman's good, good heart
[Bridge 2]
On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the God and the weight of her world
[Chorus]
So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too
[Outro]
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
[Verse 1]
In this verse, John Mayer explores the complexity of relationships, using the metaphor of a maze to describe how navigating a romantic relationship can be confusing and challenging. He reflects on his own experiences, recognizing that the issues he faces may not solely be about him but rather a broader pattern influenced by external factors.
[Chorus]
The chorus serves as a poignant call to action for both fathers and mothers. Mayer urges fathers to be kind and supportive to their daughters, as their treatment will shape how daughters approach love and relationships in the future. He extends this message to mothers, emphasizing that their role is equally important in fostering healthy emotional development in their daughters.
[Verse 2]
In this verse, Mayer paints a picture of a woman dealing with the aftermath of a broken relationship. The imagery of "the same skin" and "cleaning up the mess" highlights the lasting emotional impact of a partner's departure. This verse underscores the theme of how past experiences shape a person's current emotional state and relational patterns.
[Bridge 1]
This bridge contrasts the strength expected of boys with the emotional support provided by women. Mayer acknowledges that while boys are often expected to be resilient, they also rely on the warmth and support of women to thrive emotionally. This section highlights the reciprocal nature of emotional support and its importance in personal development.
[Bridge 2]
Here, Mayer shifts the focus to a broader perspective, addressing the responsibility of men to protect and support women. He underscores the significant role that men play in the lives of women, suggesting that their actions and attitudes carry substantial weight in shaping women's experiences and perceptions.
[Chorus]
The repeated chorus reinforces the song’s central message, emphasizing the need for fathers and mothers to treat their daughters with care and respect. It reiterates the idea that parental behavior has a profound impact on how daughters will approach love and relationships throughout their lives.
[Outro]
The outro echoes the song’s main theme, reinforcing the importance of parents' roles in their daughters' lives. Mayer’s repetition of the message underscores the urgency and significance of treating daughters well to ensure they develop into emotionally healthy individuals.
