Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
I’m still here
Even when I don’t feel like I am
[Verse 1]
Alarm cuts through the dark, I’m already awake
Coffee going cold beside the bills I gotta pay
Tie a knot, fake a smile, tell the kids I’m okay
Then I drive into a shift that takes the best of my day
Everybody needs a piece, I keep handing mine out
Got a wife I love deeply, still I’m full of self-doubt
When she asks me what is wrong, I just say, “Nothing much”
But the truth is I feel broken every time that we touch
I’m providing, I’m present, but my mind’s somewhere else
Counting every little failure like a debt to myself
I hear laughter in the hallway, and I freeze by the door
Wonder if the man they need is the man I’m becoming anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep saying tomorrow I’ll be better than this
But tomorrow keeps arriving with the same clenched fist
[Chorus]
I’m working all the time, still I’m falling behind
Trying to be enough with a storm in my mind
I’m scared I’m a bad husband, scared I’m a bad dad
Giving everything I have, wondering why it feels so sad
If I go quiet, it don’t mean I don’t care
I’m just fighting something heavy that I never can share
I may not feel worthy, I may not feel strong
But I’m still trying to find my way back home
[Verse 2]
Lunch break in the car, staring hard at the wheel
There’s a pressure in my chest I don’t know how to reveal
Phone lights up with a picture of the little ones smiling
And I feel guilty for a minute, then I’m numb for a while
My son wants me to play, my daughter wants a story
My wife deserves a partner, not a ghost saying “sorry”
I nod like I’m listening, but the room starts to swim
I’m afraid they’ll see the truth if I let them look in
I’ve been measuring my love by the hours I bring home
By the groceries on the counter, by the repairs I’ve known
But love ain’t just a paycheck, and I’m learning too late
You can build a safe house and still feel unsafe
So I sit on the edge of the bed, hands shaking in place
Tell my wife, “I’m not okay,” while I’m looking at her face
She don’t fix it, don’t judge me, just reaches for my hand
And for once I stop pretending I can carry all I am
[Chorus]
I’m working all the time, still I’m falling behind
Trying to be enough with a storm in my mind
I’m scared I’m a bad husband, scared I’m a bad dad
Giving everything I have, wondering why it feels so sad
If I go quiet, it don’t mean I don’t care
I’m just fighting something heavy that I never can share
I may not feel worthy, I may not feel strong
But I’m still trying to find my way back home
[Bridge]
Maybe being strong is saying, “I need help”
Maybe love is letting someone see you as yourself
Maybe all this fear is proof I’m trying to stay
Maybe enough is not perfection—maybe enough is one more day
[Verse 3]
So I’m taking smaller steps, putting truth into the room
Leaving work before the dark, making time to watch them bloom
I still wake up with the weight, still lose battles in my head
But I tell them when I’m struggling instead of disappearing instead
I’m not the perfect father, not the husband from a screen
I’m a tired man in progress, trying hard to stay seen
And if my hands are empty, I can still hold them close
I can give them my attention, give them what matters most
[Final Chorus]
I’m working all the time, but I’m learning to breathe
Trying to be enough without abandoning me
I’m scared I’m a bad husband, scared I’m a bad dad
But they don’t need a flawless man, they need the one they have
If I go quiet, I’ll come back and explain
I’m still fighting something heavy, but I’m calling it by name
I may not feel worthy, I may not feel strong
But I’m still here beside you, and I’m still moving on
[Outro]
Still here beside you
One more day
One more honest breath

introspective emotional rap, midtempo minor-key piano loop, restrained sub bass, dusty boom-bap drums with occasional modern trap hi-hats, intimate low male rap vocal, conversational verses that build into a raw melodic hook, sparse verses and fuller final chorus, close dry vocal mix with subtle room ambience, serious but ultimately resilient
