[Verse]
Scars on my soul, battles I can’t erase,
Tried to shield y’all from my dark, twisted maze.
My past like a weight, tied tight to my feet,
But I swear I’ve been climbin’, not accepting defeat.
[Verse 2]
To my son, to my daughter, my hopes and my pride,
Though I stumbled on this road, I was still by your side.
Every tear that you shed, I felt it through my chest,
I may not be perfect, but I gave you my best.
[Chorus]
Daddy’s got demons, chains that still clink,
Regret in my heart and fear when I blink.
But love’s the only truth that I carry for you,
A bond unbroken, endless, tried and true.
[Verse 3]
My pain became anger, walls built from fear,
But y’all broke them down with every laugh, every tear.
If I ever let rage paint your skies a bit gray,
I’m sorry, my babies, it’s the words I should say.
[Bridge]
I wasn’t taught the way to love the right way,
But your smiles became my compass, my light each day.
Trauma tried to drown me, drag me to the deep,
But y’all are the lifeline that I’m desperate to keep.
[Chorus]
Daddy’s got demons, chains that still clink,
Regret in my heart and fear when I blink.
But love’s the only truth that I carry for you,
A bond unbroken, endless, tried and true.
