Letras
She used to cling like glue to my side
Now she ducks
She dips
She hides
I hold out my arms
She dashes away
No hugs for dad
It's a brand new day
No hugs
No high fives
Just a quick goodbye
She rolls her eyes
And I wonder why
Adolescence hit like a stealthy thief
My little kid's now a hug-loss chief
The schoolyard's cool
And I'm just lame
She acts like I'm Captain Embarrassment's name
She sprints for the door like it's a race
Leaving me stranded
Arms in open space
No hugs
No high fives
Just a quick goodbye
She rolls her eyes
And I wonder why
Adolescence hit like a stealthy thief
My little kid's now a hug-loss chief
I remember the days when she'd hold so tight
Now I'm Kryptonite in her social light
But I know deep down she still cares
The love's not gone
It's just somewhere in there
So I'll stand by with my"dad pride" stare
Quietly rooting
Suppressing despair
Her journey is hers
I'll cheer her on
Even hug-free
Our bond isn't gone
