Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I’m sorry I was raisin’ my voice

You flinchin’, like you ain’t got a choice

Saw my father in the mirror for a second

That temper, that weapon, I’m sick of that lesson

You ain’t my enemy, you my home

You and the little one, my whole soul

But I keep trippin’ on the same cracked path

Swear I’m tryna change, I just fall back fast

I hate myself when I see you cry

You walk away and I don’t know why

How I go from lovin’ you, holdin’ you tight

To you in the bedroom, lockin’ the light

[Chorus]

I don’t wanna be my dad

Break that chain, never goin’ back

I just wanna make you laugh

Sunday slow, baby on my lap

I’m done yellin’, done doin’ bad

Wanna be a better man, better dad

I miss layin’ in your hands, skin to skin

Let me earn my way back in (back in)

[Verse 2]

I remember when we barely had bills

Still shared fries, still shared chills

Talked all night ‘bout a house and a yard

Now we got both, but the talkin’ is hard

You reach out, I’m scrolling my phone

You feel alone when we right at home

I say “I’m tired,” but that ain’t true

I’m just scared to sit in the hurt with you

Love ain’t loud, it’s the quiet stuff

Cleanin’ up dishes when the day’s been rough

Turnin’ my anger into dumb little jokes

Teachin’ our kid how respect gets spoke

[Chorus]

I don’t wanna be my dad

Break that chain, never goin’ back

I just wanna make you laugh

Movie night, blanket in a stack

I’m done slammin’, done doin’ bad

Wanna be a better man, better dad

I miss closeness, breath on my chin

Let me earn my way back in (yeah, yeah)

[Bridge]

One deep breath, then another (then another)

Count to ten ‘fore I shout at my lover

Put my pride in the ground like dust

Pick our little one up, say “you safe with us”

Tell you “I was wrong,” not “but”

Open my arms, keep my mouth shut

Trade these walls for a long walk, hand in hand

You deserve a gentle man, not a damaged man

[Chorus]

I don’t wanna be my dad

Break that chain, never goin’ back

I just wanna see you glad

Kitchen dance, both of us laugh

I’m done hurtin’, done doin’ bad

Wanna be a better man, better dad

Family first, that’s how we win

Let me love you ‘til it sinks in (’til it sinks in)
