Lyrics
[Verse]
Twenty-three years
I gave my all
Built a home
Stood tall
Taught her how to catch the stars
But here we are
Here we are
[Prechorus]
Words like stones
They cut so deep
Truth I buried
It won’t keep
[Chorus]
You can't tell me what to do
You're not even my father
Not even my father
I hear the words
They break me in two
You're not even my father
Not even my father
[Verse 2]
I fixed her bike
I held her hand
Danced at her recitals
Made her understand
That love’s a choice
Not just a name
But now it feels like I’m to blame
[Bridge]
Blood is thicker
They always say
But what about the years we gave away
What about the nights
The fights
The tears
Am I just a ghost in her teenage mirror
[Chorus]
You can't tell me what to do
You're not even my father
Not even my father
I hear the words
They break me in two
You're not even my father
Not even my father
