(Verse 1)
He wore the scars of battles fought,
In a world where love was hard to find,
With dreams, he built it all,
Thought he left the darkness behind.
But whispers of betrayal cut so deep,
A tender heart now lost in the fray,
His sons laughter turned to shadows,
As his world began to fray.
(Chorus)
“Don’t leave me, Daddy, please,”
The cries echo in his mind,
His little boy’s grip like a barbed-wire vise around his neck,
His nails leaving new scars as his mother pulls harder to rip him from his father.
In the chaos, love entwined.
Fighting demons from the past,
In a broken home, he stands,
With a heart so heavy,
(Verse 2)
Promises shattered, a love turned cold,
As she pulls their son away,
He feels the emptiness consume him whole,
In the silence, he starts to sway.
The screams of his child, they haunt his soul, the face of his frightened sons tears
“Why are you leaving me daddy?”,
Feeling Caught in the crossfire of a battle unseen,
His heart aches, longing to free his son of this pain.
(Chorus)
“Don’t leave me, Daddy, please,”
The cries echo in his mind,
His little boy’s grip like a barbed-wire vise around his neck,
His nails leaving new scars as his mother pulls harder to rip him from his father.
In the chaos, love entwined.
Fighting demons from the past,
In a broken home, he stands,
With a heart so heavy.
(Bridge)
In the shadows of despair, he drops a hollow point into the chamber, as he feels the darkness settling all around, wrapping him up, he cocks the hammer back, grips the trigger, feeling the hammer slam down, A CLICK that was loud as the crack of thunder at night, feeling the barrel against his forehead,
A flicker of hope in the dark emerges,
He laid his burdens down into that pool, no more to bear,
With his son’s laughter in the dark lighting the way,
He knows he’s stronger than yesterday.
(Verse 3)
He threw his gun,
The sound of freedom echoing all around, his tears run down his face, holding the led that almost ended it all, crying,
“I’ll never give up For you, my son, I’ll fight for you.”
A protective monster emerged that night,
With love as his armor, he’ll make it right,
For every tear and every scar,
He’ll be the father his son needs, the father he needed.
(Outro)
Hearing his sons cries,
“Daddy please Don’t leave me, Daddy, please don’t leave me”.
His cries echo in his mind,
His little boy’s grip like a vice around his neck,
In the chaos, love entwined.
Fighting demons from the past,
In a broken home, he stands,
With a heart so heavy,
He’ll fight with all he has. His son needs him.
