Here is my interpretation of part of this song:
Verse 1 - I think that Demi is saying that at a young age she was always around her family fighting ("Four years old with my back to the door / All I could hear was the family war.") I think she is also trying to say that her dad was very selfish. The only reason he took care of her was because, he had to (" Your selfish hands always expecting more / Am I your child, or just a charity ward?")
Verse 2 - In the next verse I think she is expressing how she thinks that her dad is missing a piece of his heart. That piece happens to be her ("You have a hollowed-out heart / But it's heavy in your chest.") She is also trying to fix that missing piece of his heart, but it is not working ("I try so hard to fight it / But it's hopeless.")
Chorus - In the third verse she tries to just get rid of her father from her life, but she is still always going to love him ("I'd love to leave you alone / But I can't let you go.") Then she tries to convince her father to stop drinking if her really loves her ("Put the bottle down / For the love of a daughter.")
