Lyrics
[Verse]
I skipped the playground went straight to the grind
No hide-and-seek just trying to find
A way to keep the lights on a roof to stay
Childhood packed up like a suitcase runaway
[Prechorus]
But now I see their eyes so wide
A mirror of the time I was denied
[Chorus]
How do you teach what you never knew
How do you give what was stolen from you
I’m building castles from the dust and dirt
Loving unconditionally even when it hurts
[Verse 2]
Bedtime stories I never heard
Telling them now like I wrote the words
Spilled milk don't matter here we laugh instead
Turn the pain into bricks to build a home in my head
[Bridge]
They say fake it till you make it
But love don't fake
It’s raw it’s tough it’s a give-and-take
Every stumble every fall I rise again
'Cause being their parent is where I begin
[Chorus]
How do you teach what you never knew
How do you give what was stolen from you
I’m building castles from the dust and dirt
Loving unconditionally even when it hurts
