Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse] Shadows in the hallway where you used to stand Faint echoes of your laughter slipping through my hands You weren’t much of a hero, not even close But I’m digging through the ashes for what mattered most [Verse 2] You’d stumble and fumble crash like a wave Unkept promises like broken bottles sharp and depraved But I still see the man who tried to make it right Even when the darkness swallowed up the light [Chorus] I’m screaming at the sky, asking how could you go You were never perfect, but I still miss you so A ghost of a father haunting my mind Searching for the love I could never find [Verse 3] With beer on your breath stories half untold A heart made of paper crumpled and cold You fought your own battles lost more than you won But I was just a kid hoping for a sun [Bridge] I can’t rewrite the pages torn from this book But I’d give it all back for one honest look To tell you I’m angry to tell you I care To tell you I wish you had always been there [Chorus] I’m screaming at the sky, asking how could you go You were never perfect, but I still miss you so A ghost of a father haunting my mind Searching for the love I could never find
