This song is so cute and sad. I think it's how a father faces the consequences of emotionally abusing his daughter for so long. Her father was so distant from his daughter, he would lie to her, put her down and even act as if she wasn't there 'she hears the things you say, when you think she's asleep'...now she's all grown up, she's confused and alone but even though her father never did treat her that well he did leave her some sort of strength to stand up to him and find her own way home- her own world without him. That's how I perceived the song.
