[Verse 1]
Coffee gone cold on the counter
Bills in a stack by the door
Boots by the crib in the hallway
I’m counting more worries than chores
Little hand tugs on my flannel
“Daddy, can you play with me now?”
I’m staring at numbers and deadlines
Feeling like I’m letting them down
[Chorus]
But I’m enough for them
Even when I don’t feel strong
Every late-night drive, every tired “I’m fine”
They’ve been loving me all along
I see it in their eyes
When they reach for my hand again
I may not be perfect, I may bend and break
But to them, I’m enough
Yeah, to them, I’m enough for them (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
Circle under my eyes in the mirror
Looks like I’ve been fighting in my sleep
Trying to be a rock and a shelter
While I’m crumbling a little underneath
She wraps her arms round my shoulders
Whispers, “You’re doing alright”
Says, “They don’t see the paycheck, honey
They just see that you come home every night”
[Chorus]
And I’m enough for them
Even when I feel so small
Every silly joke, every burned-out toast
They remember I showed up at all
I hear it in their laughs
When the kitchen turns to a stage again
I may not be perfect, I may bend and break
But to them, I’m enough
Yeah, to them, I’m enough for them (hey)
[Bridge]
Some days I’m the hero
Some days I’m just holding on
But their drawings on the fridge say “Daddy”
Like I’m ten feet tall and strong
[Chorus]
So I’m enough for them
On the hard days, on the good
Every quiet prayer, every “I’ll be there”
They feel it more than I ever could
I see it in our home
In the way they say my name
I don’t have it all, but I give all I am
And to them, I’m enough
Yeah, to them, I’m enough for them
