Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Little shoes by the front door
Work boots by the back
Bills stacked on the counter
My head a paper sack
Scrollin’ numbers at midnight
Bank app, heart in my throat
Prayin’ sleep don’t ask me
Why we still this broke
You say “Daddy, stay home”
I say “Daddy gotta leave”
Kiss your hair in the hallway
Hide the shake in my sleeve
Smile stitched like bandage
Over panic in my chest
If love could pay the rent
We’d already be blessed
[Chorus]
I feel like I’m failing you
Every day, every paycheck due
But I’ll bleed, I’ll break, I’ll bruise
I’m never giving up on you
Up late, eyes red, mind cracked
Still I carry all this weight on my back
Yeah I’m scared, I’m stuck, that’s true
But I’m never giving up on you
[Verse 2]
I grew up counting coins
At a table full of fights
Swore I’d change the ending
Give my kids a different life
Now I’m pacing in the kitchen
Same worry in my tone
Terrified you’ll inherit
Every ghost I call my own
I snap, then I’m sorry
You flinch when I shout
I’m wrestling with shadows
You don’t know about
But I tuck you in gently
Try to rewrite the script
“Daddy’s here, you’re safe now”
Even when my faith slips
[Chorus]
I feel like I’m failing you
Every day, every paycheck due
But I’ll bleed, I’ll break, I’ll bruise
I’m never giving up on you
Up late, eyes red, mind cracked
Still I carry all this weight on my back
Yeah I’m scared, I’m stuck, that’s true
But I’m never giving up on you
[Bridge]
One day you’ll be bigger
You’ll ask why I was gone (yeah)
I’ll tell you ’bout the battles
I fought just to keep us warm
If all you remember
Is I always came back home (came back)
Then maybe my broken
Still taught you to be strong
[Chorus]
I feel like I’m failing you
Every day, every paycheck due
But I’ll bleed, I’ll break, I’ll bruise
I’m never giving up on you
Up late, eyes red, mind cracked
Still I carry all this weight on my back
Call me weak, I still push through
‘Cause I’m never giving up on you
