Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 Lauren, you were my midnight sky, Allysa, you were my reason why, Andrea, my little wild heartbeat, Three sets of footprints down my street. I held your hands when the world was loud, Taught you to stand, to stand up proud, Now there’s silence where your laughter was, And I don’t even know who I’m fighting because. Pre-Chorus Somewhere between the truth and the blame, A story got twisted, a father got named, As the villain in a book I never wrote, Now I’m screaming but you can’t hear my throat. Chorus But I’m still your dad, I ain’t walked away, I’m right here bleeding every single day. Through the slammed doors and the slammed-down lies, Through the tears that burn in my eyes. You can turn your backs, you can close that door, But my love don’t quit, it just hurts some more. No matter what you’ve been told or read, I’m still your dad… I’m still your dad. Verse 2 I know you’ve heard things said in the dark, Words like poison hitting your heart. I see the distance in your stare, Like I’m a stranger standing there. But I remember scraped-up knees, Bedtime prayers and “Daddy, please,” I remember every birthday wish, Every hug, every Christmas list. Pre-Chorus Time can bend but it won’t erase The blood in your veins, the look in your face. You carry my name in more than ink, Even if you don’t want to think. Chorus ‘Cause I’m still your dad, I ain’t walked away, I’m right here fighting every day. Through the rumors and the broken trust, Through the ashes and the dust. You can silence my side of the story, Paint me in someone else’s glory. But love like mine don’t fade to black, I’m still your dad… and I want you back. Bridge One day when the noise dies down, When the truth ain’t buried underground, Maybe you’ll see through shattered glass, Maybe you’ll look into the past. And if that day comes, I’ll be right here, No “I told you so,” no bitterness here. Just open arms and a steady light, Waiting through the longest night. Breakdown (Spoken over heavy guitars) Lauren… Allysa… Andrea… No lie can kill what we had. No distance can change the blood we share. I never stopped being your father. Final Chorus (Big, Emotional) I’m still your dad, through thick and thin, Through every loss and every win. Through the years and the pain we’ve had, Through every memory good and bad. If you ever knock, I won’t ask why, I won’t bring up tears I’ve cried. I’ll just say, “Baby, welcome back,” ‘Cause I’m still your dad… Yeah, I’m still your dad. Outro Hope ain’t gone, it just runs deep, A father’s promise he’ll always keep. No matter how far you roam or roam— My heart’s your home.
