Intro
Female:
You walked away! You made your choice! Now you want to be a father and now come back like nothing happened?
Male:
I didn’t walk away from my son. I walked away from what was tearing us apart. I had to become a better man so I could be the father he deserves.
Female:
You expect me to believe you after everything?
Male:
everything that happen between us wasn’t my fault , you know that you had your part is this too. But don’t shut me out of his life because you’re still angry with me.
Female:
You don’t know what I’ve had to carry.
Male:
And you don’t know what it’s like waking up every day wondering if my son is asking where his dad is you don’t know what it’s like to be missing every moment of his life .
Female:
You moved on.
Male:
Yes… and you moved on too. I never tried to stop your happiness. I just don’t understand why my relationship with my son has to suffer because ours didn’t work.
(Music begins.)
Verse 1 – Male
Every sunrise starts the same,
Thinking if my little boy remembers my name.
I changed my life, I changed my ways,
Trying to build a future instead of living yesterday.
People think they know my side,
But they never see these tears I hide.
Every birthday, every holiday,
I’m praying I’ll see his face someday.
Pre-Chorus – Female
I remember all the hurt.
I remember all the pain.
Learning how to trust again
Hasn’t been easy.
Chorus – Both
Male:
Don’t keep me away…
Female:
I’m trying to protect…
Male:
I’m still his father…
Female:
I’m carrying regret…
Both:
Our hearts are broken in different ways,
But love shouldn’t be lost in yesterday.
Whatever happened between me and you,
He deserves the love of us both too.
Verse 2 – Male
When I found peace, you thought I’d forget.
But not one day has passed without regret.
I wasn’t running from my responsibility.
I was running toward the man I needed to be.
You found somebody, I let it go.
I prayed you’d find the happiness I couldn’t show.
But when my life began to heal,
It seemed like that’s when things got real.
Verse 3 – Female
I’ve got scars you cannot see.
I’ve carried fears that still follow me.
Sometimes anger speaks too loud,
When pain hides behind the clouds.
Maybe we both made mistakes.
Maybe we both need God’s grace.
Maybe healing starts today,
If pride can move out of the way.
He shouldn’t have to choose a side.
He shouldn’t have to wonder why.
He’s just a child needing love,
The kind that comes from God above.
Final Chorus
Don’t keep love locked behind closed doors.
Don’t let yesterday become tomorrow’s war.
Let’s choose what’s best for the child we share,
Showing him that we both still care.
One day he’ll know we never stopped trying,
Even through the tears and crying.
God can heal what we broke apart,
And give our son a brand-new start.
Son… if you ever hear this song,
Know your father never stopped loving you.
I’ve been fighting for you every day.
