[Verse 1]
I gave birth to you
I held you first
I learned your cry
I knew your hurt
Then you come back home
Like I don't exist
You run to their door
You run to their kiss
And I stand there small
With my hands all raw
You look right through me
Like I'm not your mom
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me what I missed
Tell me what went wrong
I been bending over
Trying to stay strong
But when you get back
You don't even see
The woman who bled
To make you be
[Chorus]
Back from daddy's house
You don't look my way
Back from daddy's house
You got so much to say
You run to grandparents
Like I'm not here
I gave you my body
You gave me tears
Back from daddy's house
Say my name, baby
Back from daddy's house
Don't erase me
[Verse 2]
Now I'm broke on the floor
Bills stacked like stones
I cut every corner
To keep this home
You walk past my pain
Like it's dust on wood
You know how to hurt me
Better than good
And I keep on asking
What did I do?
Was loving too much
The crime with you?
I don't need perfection
I need your eyes
I need you to see me
Before I break down and cry
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me what I missed
Tell me what went wrong
I been holding pieces
All along
But when you get back
You don't even see
The woman who stayed
And carried you
[Chorus]
Back from daddy's house
You don't look my way
Back from daddy's house
You got so much to say
You run to grandparents
Like I'm not here
I gave you my body
You gave me tears
Back from daddy's house
Say my name, baby
Back from daddy's house
Don't erase me
[Bridge]
Look at me, look at me
I'm still your home
I was there for your fear
When you felt alone
I don't want a fight
I want you near
I just want my child
To see me here
[Final Chorus]
Back from daddy's house
You don't look my way
Back from daddy's house
You got so much to say
You run to grandparents
Like I'm not here
I gave you my body
You gave me tears
Back from daddy's house
Say my name, baby
Back from daddy's house
Don't erase me
