Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Missed birthdays

missed first steps

I was chasing paychecks

chasing my own mess

Phone on silent

while you needed my voice

I was out there wilding

like I ain’t have a choice

Pictures on the fridge

I was staring from afar

You were growing up fast

I was drinking at the bar

Every “I’ll be there”

turned into “I’m sorry”

You were waiting at the door

I was drowning in my worry

[Chorus]

I’m late

but I’m here now

I can’t change then

but I swear now

Every tear

every fear

I’m right here now

I’m right here now

If you hate me

I get it

you can scream it loud

But if you fall

I’ma catch you

that’s my only vow

Every year that I lost

I’ma fight for it now

I’m late

but I’m here

I’m your dad

I’m proud

[Verse 2]

I remember little shoes

by the front door waiting

Cartoons on mute

clock hands rotating

You asking “Where you at?”

I was stuck in my shame

Let the past raise my voice

let the hurt say my name

Court dates

cold nights

arguing and letters

Thought distance was protection

but it never made it better

You needed my hugs

I was stuck in my head

Now I’d trade my whole life

just to tuck you in bed

[Chorus]

I’m late

but I’m here now

I can’t change then

but I swear now

Every tear

every fear

I’m right here now

I’m right here now

If you hate me

I get it

you can scream it loud

But if you fall

I’ma catch you

that’s my only vow

Every year that I lost

I’ma fight for it now

I’m late

but I’m here

I’m your dad

I’m proud

[Bridge]

I ain’t asking you to fix me

I’m asking for a chance

Let me show you how I love you

not just talk it in advance

I’ll be in the front row

even if you don’t wave

I’ll clap till my hands hurt

for the courage you gave

[Chorus]

I’m late

but I’m here now

I can’t change then

but I swear now

Every tear

every fear

I’m right here now

I’m right here now

If you hate me

I get it

you can scream it loud

But if you fall

I’ma catch you

that’s my only vow

Every year that I lost

I’ma fight for it now

I’m late

but I’m here

I’m your dad

I’m proud
