(Verse 1)
Daddy, you hurt me, even if you don't mean to
Come home, see you – so empty, so still
Bottle in hand, smoke in the air
Your gaze passes through me, like a cold scent
Mommy cries softly, night after night
She can't take it anymore, she barely has any strength left
I stand between them, child and pain
With a heavy gaze and an open heart
(Chorus)
Daddy, please listen to me
I just want you to be you again
Leave the alcohol, put down the cigarette
Come back to us – I miss you, my child inside
Daddy, I miss you… so, so much
(Verse 2)
I dream of the past, you laugh with me
We build dreams out of paper
But now you're tearing them apart piece by piece
I see you fall and I don't hold back
I worry about you, about her
About our little, broken one Family
But I won't give up on you, no – never
I'm here, Dad – never forget that
(Chorus)
Dad, please listen to me
I just want you to be you again
Leave the alcohol, put down the cigarette
Come back to us – I miss you, my child inside
Dad, I miss you… so, so much
(Bridge)
I don't want to scream, I don't want to run away
I just want to see you again
Not just your shadow, not just the smoke
I really want you – and not drunk
(Chorus)
Dad, please listen to me
I just want you to be you again
Leave the alcohol, put down the cigarette
Come back to us – I miss you, my child inside
Dad, I miss you… so, so much
(Outro)
I'll hold you tight – in my heart
Despite everything, despite every pain
