Daddy

The scars that you left behind with me

Left me so messed up, I don't know how to be free

When you left, you took my security

Now I can't give my heart away, it's too scary

Even if she shows me, she trusts me

I can't trust enough to know she won't hurt me

Like you did, like you did

Like you did, Daddy

Did you know I've been to therapy?

Abandonment's the word she used for me

But at least I've named the thing that hinders me

Now I can finally find a way to live in peace

So no more excuses here from me

It's time to move on and let you be

Like you did, like you did

Like you did, Daddy

Did you know I found the love of my life?

Did you know I lost the love of my life?

Did you know I have a son in my life?

Did you know we almost lost his life?

And did you know I remember the day?

Remember the year and my age?

Did you know I remember Mom's face?

The way she cried will never be erased

From my head, from head

From my head, Daddy

Yeah

Woo-oo-oo

Daddy, don't you worry, we are on a journey

Daddy, don't you

Woo-oo-oo

Are you ever proud of me? Do you ever smile at me?

My boys, they won't ever feel this pain

I could not replace you, uh

Though I prayed to, Daddy, did you -

Daddy, did you know? Yeah

Know how much I missed you? (Missed you)

I still do

But Daddy, I'll let go

Let go

Daddy, I'm fine

I'm a man now

Let go

I forgive, I forgive

I forgive you, Daddy
