🔹**[Verse 1 – Calm, reflective tone]**
She’s three years old, thinks I’m ten feet tall
Wants piggyback rides down the hallway wall
She laughs when I trip, wipes the ketchup off my face
To her, I’m a hero… I just feel out of place
The bills keep coming, and I keep trying
But some nights I sit alone and feel like I’m lying
Smiling for her, while I’m screaming inside
Fighting the storm with nowhere to hide
⸻
🔹**[Pre-Chorus – Soft build, emotional]**
She sees a daddy who’s silly and strong
They see a man who’s just getting it wrong
But they don’t know what it takes just to be
Everything that she already sees in me
⸻
🔴 [Chorus – Big, emotional release]
What they don’t see… is the fear in my chest
The pressure to always be doing my best
What they don’t see… is the weight on my back
The sleepless nights and the panic attacks
But she calls me “Daddy,” and that’s enough proof
That love’s not measured in dollars or truth
⸻
🔹**[Verse 2 – Gritty, heartfelt]**
I missed a shift just to make her a crown
Held her through fevers when the world shut down
They say “man up,” but they don’t understand
I’d give up my lungs just to hold her hand
She paints my nails, we dance on the floor
Then I check my account and I’m broke once more
But she don’t care if I win or lose
She just wants time — not some brand new shoes
⸻
🔹**[Pre-Chorus – Lift again]**
They see mistakes, they count what I lack
But she jumps in my arms and I know I’m on track
⸻
🔴 [Chorus – Repeat stronger]
What they don’t see… is the pride in her eyes
When I kiss her goodnight and she whispers goodbyes
What they don’t see… is the man I became
Since the day that she first said my name
I may not be rich, but I’m rich where it counts
And love like hers? You can’t measure that amount
⸻
🔻**[Bridge – Spoken or low-sung]**
She won’t remember if we struggled with rent
She’ll remember the time that we always spent
And maybe I’ll fall… maybe I’ll bend…
But I’ll always rise up to be her best friend.
⸻
🎧 [Outro – Soft, intimate]
She’s just three… and she already saved me
From the man I feared… into the dad she made me
