[Verse 1]
I've been slipping in the same old room
Counting days by the shape of my bruise
I kept my promises out of view
And I left too much for you to lose
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I feel it in my chest
Like a door I never kept
I don't want this hurt no more
I want something clean and left
[Chorus]
I want to love my daughters
Love my daughters, that's my name
I want to love my daughters
And not pass down all my shame
I want to love my daughters
(oh, I want to love my daughters)
And walk home changed
[Verse 2]
I broke the peace with a restless hand
Tried to outrun what I couldn't stand
Now I'm down on my knees in the kitchen light
Looking for a way to make this right
[Pre-Chorus]
If grace can find me here
With my shaking and my fear
Then I'll hold on to the road
Even when it disappears
[Chorus]
I want to love my daughters
Love my daughters, that's my name
I want to love my daughters
And not pass down all my shame
I want to love my daughters
(oh, I want to love my daughters)
And walk home changed
[Bridge]
Let me be forgiven
Let me learn the hard way how to stay
Let me be the father
Who can face the dawn and not walk away
[Chorus]
I want to love my daughters
Love my daughters, that's my name
I want to love my daughters
And not pass down all my shame
I want to love my daughters
(oh, I want to love my daughters)
And walk home changed
