[Verse 1]
My name on that file
Folded in blue ink
One house, two keys
One kid with my grin
I pack lunch boxes
You pack up doubt
But I show up early
When the gavel comes down
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t cut this in half
Don’t hand me the wind
I know what I built
I know where I’ve been
If they ask me why
I’m still standing here
It’s for little footsteps
And the week I hold dear
[Chorus]
I won’t lose my child
I won’t lose my child
Call my name in court
I’ll be there, I’ll be there
I won’t lose my child
I won’t lose my child
Split the calendar
I’m still right there
[Verse 2]
Paper cuts on my palms
From the stack I carry
Old school photos
And a tiny red jersey
She drew us three figures
On a fridge door note
Mine at the doorway
Waiting for hope
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t cut this in half
Don’t hand me the wind
I know what I built
I know where I’ve been
If they ask me why
I’m still standing here
It’s for little footsteps
And the week I hold dear
[Chorus]
I won’t lose my child
I won’t lose my child
Call my name in court
I’ll be there, I’ll be there
I won’t lose my child
I won’t lose my child
Split the calendar
I’m still right there
[Bridge]
[Dubstep Break]
Bass drops like a hammer
When the room goes cold
One voice, one truth
I’m not letting go
Every missed weekend
Every signed page
I turn that hurt
Into a hardback rage
[Chorus]
I won’t lose my child
I won’t lose my child
Call my name in court
I’ll be there, I’ll be there
I won’t lose my child
I won’t lose my child
Split the calendar
I’m still right there
