[Verse 1]
I do not want a lover
I just want names on the fridge
Tiny boots by the doorway
Three red haired storms in my kitchen
No first date conversations
No late night breath on my neck
Just cereal bowls and cartoons
And a house that never checks
[Chorus]
Red haired daughters
Running through my quiet heart
Red haired daughters
Color in my missing parts
I do not need a partner
I just need their louder laughter
Red haired daughters
Give them the warm childhood after
[Verse 2]
I grew up cold and careful
Hands off hope stay small
Now I dream soft pajamas
Pillow forts down the hall
No one touching my body
Still my arms open wide
All my love in their lunch box
All my hurt left outside
[Bridge]
Will they ask where is daddy
I will say you are enough
We rewrite the broken bedtime
Page by page with gentler stuff
No vows no rings no owner
Just my name and theirs together
Red hair like warning flares
Turning my winter into weather
[Outro]
I do not want a lover
I just want footsteps on the stairs
Three red haired daughters
And a world that finally cares
