Oh, left one thing out that is important to the song meaning. Daughters who feel this way seek the love of other men to fulfill that need, but it's hard to find happiness anyway. The line about "I know that it's complicated, but I'm a loser in love" refers to failed relationships and an inability to have a successful relationship because of the failure of that first relationship, the daughter and father relationship.

This song reminds me of my father, who recently died from destroying himself with drugs and alcohol. The song seems fairly self-explanatory, and I feel it matches my own situation.
As his daughter, I just wanted a dad. He wanted to drink, party, and pretty much chose that lifestyle over being a father. I know he loved me as much as he was able, but he never loved me the way a father should. In the end, he knew that too.
The last first is particularly lovely: "Some men may follow me, But you choose any girl but me." That's exactly what it feels like to a daughter. As an adult, I understand it was just human weakness, but as a child, it just seems like you're not loved.
