Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You walked in late in the story
When the pages felt torn and thin
I was fifteen
Little bit stormy
You still opened your arms
Said "come in"
You learned my scars by their first names
Never ran when the hard days grew
Blood might write the first few lines
But the rest
I wrote with you
[Chorus]
You're the dad I choose
Every time I bruise
You're the one who lifts me
Like you got nothing to lose
Pick me up when I fall
Answer every call
I will love you
Love you
Til the day death takes my heart
Once and for all
[Verse 2]
You showed up for the small things
Parking lot talks in the dark
Sat in the bleachers
Half-empty
But you still cheered like it was art
You never asked to be my hero
You just showed up
Rain or shine
And somewhere between all those rides home
I started calling you mine
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Maybe we don’t share the same last name
But you gave me more than any name could claim
When the world goes quiet and it all feels hard
I still hear you say
"Kid
I got your heart"
So when the years get heavy and the days grow far
Know I’m walking with your love stitched into my scars
[Chorus]

Style
Warm acoustic pop ballad, male vocals. Fingerpicked guitar and soft piano carry the verses; subtle bass and brushed kit slide in at the first chorus. Hooks lean on close, intimate vocal delivery with light harmonies on the title line. Bridge swells with strings and a lifted melody, then drops back to just guitar and voice for the final chorus for a heartfelt, family-toast moment.
