Here I am sittin’ on the kitchen counter
Bills spread out on a piece of paper
Starin’ at numbers, starin’ at walls
Tryin’ to be strong but man it’s hard
Thinkin’ ‘bout my son and daughter
Wish me and your mama could’ve gone farther
Wish somehow we could’ve made it work
But sometimes love just runs outta dirt
⸻
Pre-Chorus
I’m hurtin’ again, pourin’ Old Number 7
Prayin’ to God up in heaven
Wonderin’ if you’d be better off
If I just disappeared somehow
But then your faces hit my mind
And I swear that thought shuts down
⸻
Chorus
‘Cause I miss y’all every week you ain’t with me
The silence in this house just kills me
But you best believe I’m gonna stand tall
At every game, every play, every call
I love y’all with everything I have
Even when life cuts deep and bad
We might be broken, but we’re okay
I’m your daddy — and I ain’t walkin’ away
⸻
Verse 2
Wish I could fix it with your mama
But she’s happy now with another man
And that’s a hurt a father swallows
Just to do the best he can
I ain’t perfect, I ain’t proud
Of every tear I’ve cried out loud
But when I look into your eyes
That’s where my whole world lies
⸻
Bridge (Build it up, big guitars)
Alaina — April 10th, you changed my life
Sammy — April 27th, my little light
Every year I’ll make it count
Candles bright, shout it out
No matter where this road may bend
You’ve got a dad who won’t give in
⸻
Final Chorus (Big, powerful)
Yeah I miss y’all every week you ain’t with me
But that just means you still complete me
I’ll be there for every dream you chase
Every milestone, every base
Kaitlyn I’m sorry we didn’t make it
I love y’all with everything I am
And someday you’ll understand
We might’ve fell — but we don’t break
We’re gonna be alright…
Yeah, we’re gonna be okay
