[Verse 1]
You came in quiet
Second chance
Second shot
Didn’t share the same last name
But you loved me like we did
You patched my sneakers
Waited in the parking lot
Sat through every losing game
Still cheered like I just won big
[Chorus]
You’re the one who lifts me up when I fall
Every stumble
Every crack in my walls
Might not share the same blood
But you’re the best I ever had
You’re my step dad
My hero
Always gonna be my dad
[Verse 2]
Late night kitchen
Homework spread across the light
You stayed up till your eyes burned
Said
“We’ll get it
It’s alright”
You taught me driving
White knuckles
Shaking hands
You laughed when I stalled out
Said
“Just breathe
Try again”
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I used to think “real dad”
Meant something you can’t change
But you showed me with every day
It’s more than a last name
So when I say “my dad”
I always mean you
You chose me
I choose you too
[Chorus]
