[Verse 1]
I walked into the room, my heart in my throat,
It’d been too many days, too many nights alone.
Six months old, with the bluest eyes like mine,
But when she looked at me, there was no sign.
Confusion in her gaze, a tear on her cheek,
Her cries hit deeper than any words could speak.
She doesn’t know better, she’s just a little girl,
But I wonder if her world’s as broken as my world.
[Chorus]
And I held her close, afraid to let her go,
Every moment stolen feels like all I’ll ever know.
She doesn’t understand, as she holds my hand,
Every moment stolen feels like all I’ll ever know.
[Verse 2]
She settled for a moment, her laugh broke the air,
But something about her was different, she wasn’t all there.
Her joy felt smaller, like a light that’s been dimmed,
And I’m left here wondering, what did they do to her within?
She’s just a baby, caught in the crossfire of pride,
Between families who forgot what love looks like inside.
And when she fell asleep, nestled in my chest,
For a moment I felt like her dad again, blessed.
[Chorus]
And I held her close, afraid to let her go,
Every moment stolen feels like all I’ll ever know.
She doesn’t understand, as she holds my hand,
Every moment stolen feels like all I’ll ever know.
[Bridge]
Does she have to feel the pain of meeting me anew,
Every time we’re together, a heartbreak brand new?
Will she ever know my love, see me as her own?
Or will I always be the stranger who comes and goes alone?
[Chorus]
And I held her close, afraid to let her go,
Every moment stolen feels like all I’ll ever know.
She doesn’t understand, as she holds my hand,
Every moment stolen feels like all I’ll ever know.
Will I ever get to be the dad I dreamed I’d be tonight?
