[Intro]
Soft saxophone playing
Yeah…
Back then it was parties every night
Now I carry responsibility in my hands
And honestly…
I wouldn’t change a thing
---
[Verse 1]
Back then my life was smoke and neon lights
Every night outside, thought I had it all right
Too many people around, but nobody was real
Everybody loved the vibe, nobody knew how I feel
Liquor in my cup, but my heart felt cold
Laughing with the crowd while my soul grew old
Always on the run, always chasing the high
But deep inside I knew something wasn’t right
Then you came
And the whole world slowed down
No club in the city could still pull me around
Your first breath changed everything in me
Like God himself showed me who I should be
---
[Hook]
So I left those nights behind me
For a little life standing right beside me
Lost some friends, but I found my soul
Turned broken days into something whole
Now I wear love instead of pain inside
My child brought the light back into my life
And no matter what this world might say
You were the best decision I ever made
---
[Verse 2]
Suddenly bills mattered more than fame
No more time for people playing selfish games
I learned what it really means to be a man
Not for the streets — but for my family to stand
Had to cut some ties without anger or hate
Some still wanted parties, I was building a place
And yeah it hurt watching old friends disappear
But real love means changing your whole atmosphere
Now I wake up every morning for your smile
No empty conversation could ever match that vibe
Your little hands turned all my weakness to strength
You made a father out of me at the perfect moment
---
[Hook]
So I left those nights behind me
For a little life standing right beside me
Lost some friends, but I found my soul
Turned broken days into something whole
Now I wear love instead of pain inside
My child brought the light back into my life
And no matter what this world might say
You were the best decision I ever made
---
[Bridge]
Emotional violin playing softly
Sometimes I still look back
At those old nights and flashing lights
But no applause in this whole world
Feels better than hearing you say “Dad”
---
[Outro]
Saxophone fading out slowly
Back then I was chasing nights
Now I’m protecting dreams
And if somebody asks me
If I regret anything…
I say no
Because you saved me
Without even knowing it.
