[Verse 1]
Half a glass left
Phone face down
Same four walls
Spinning around
Clock says 2
But my chest says 10
Every bad choice
Playing again
I see their faces
In the kitchen light
Smile in the photo
Was I really there that night
[Chorus]
Late night drinking and thinking
Am I breaking me or bending
Will they grow up and remember
That I tried
That I tried
All these questions in the quiet
Pour another just to hide it
Am I ever gonna feel
Like I'm finally on their side
God
I hope I'm doing right
[Verse 2]
Raised my voice
Then I shut the door
Told myself
I won’t do that no more
Dad in my head
With the same old tone
Swore as a kid
I’d change what I was shown
I tuck them in
They say "love you
Too"
If they could see
All the cracks I’m looking through
[Chorus]
Late night drinking and thinking
Am I breaking me or bending
Will they grow up and remember
That I tried
That I tried
All these doubts in my reflection
Every flaw under inspection
Am I ever gonna feel
Like the man they think I am
God
I hope this is the plan
[Bridge]
What if “good enough”
Is all they need
Not some perfect saint
Just a heart that bleeds
What if every time I fall
And still choose them
That’s the way they learn
How to rise again (rise again)
[Chorus]
Late night drinking and thinking
Set the bottle on the counter
Take a breath and say a prayer
For the strength to stay aware
If they grow up and remember
Let it be the way I tried
To say "sorry" in the mornings
And keep showing up each night
All this fear under the surface
But I’m staying in the fight
I may never feel complete
But I’ll love them with my life
Yeah
I hope I’m doing right (doing right)
