[Verse]
You’d sit in your chair with a beer in your hand,
Eyes on the TV, too lost to understand.
I stood there hoping, just needing a sign,
But you brushed me off like I wasn’t worth your time.
[Verse 2]
You told me once, I was the biggest mistake,
Words like a hammer, a heart they’d break.
But I swore right then, as tears hit my face,
With my own kids, I’d never leave that trace.
[Chorus]
I could never be like you, Dad, I've vowed,
I'll hold my son and daughter, make them proud.
Every "I love you" will never be rare,
I’ll give them a home where love fills the air.
[Verse 3]
Little league games, I’m there in the sun,
Cheering them on like the proudest one.
And late at night, when they cry out in fear,
I’ll hold them close, so they always feel near.
[Verse 4]
I’ve learned from your silence, your cold, distant ways,
I’ll break the chain and lead brighter days.
Each bedtime story, each moment we share,
Is proof to them that their dad’s always there.
[Bridge]
Sometimes I wonder, do you know what you lost?
A little boy’s love, at such a high cost.
But Dad, I’m thankful, for what you’ve made me,
A father who loves, unconditionally.
