[Verse 1]
Dad, do you ever think about
The words you threw when I was down?
That kitchen floor, that heavy door
The way your silence filled the house
I learned to read your tired eyes
Like weather moving through the blinds
But I was young, I was your son
And I still carried every line
You said "be tough," you said "be strong"
I heard "don't cry, don't last long"
So I folded every hurt away
Like shirts in the drawer all wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me, was I too much?
Was I never enough?
Did you mean it when you left me there
With my heart all cut up?
[Chorus]
Do you still remember the pain?
Do you still remember my name?
I was standing right there
Trying hard not to break
Do you still remember the pain?
Do you still remember the pain? (the pain)
If you see me now, tell me
Did it ever change?
[Verse 2]
I got your jaw, I got your hands
I got your temper when I panic
And every time I raise my voice
I hate how easy it can happen
I walk around with all this weight
Like there's a storm beneath my skin
I want to be a better man
But I keep hearing where you've been
You missed the games, you missed the calls
You missed the nights I hit the wall
I don't need perfect, I don't need gold
I just need truth, that's all
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me, was I too much?
Was I never enough?
Did you mean it when you left me there
With my heart all cut up?
[Chorus]
Do you still remember the pain?
Do you still remember my name?
I was standing right there
Trying hard not to break
Do you still remember the pain?
Do you still remember the pain? (the pain)
If you see me now, tell me
Did it ever change?
[Bridge]
I am not a kid anymore
But I still feel that old door slam
Still hear my breath in that dark hall
Still feel small in your hands
And maybe you were drowning too
Maybe that was all you knew
But tell me why the scars remain
When I was trying to hold you
If you could sit here face to face
Would you look me in the eyes?
Would you say you lost your way?
Would you say you were blind?
[Final Chorus]
Do you still remember the pain?
Do you still remember my name?
I was standing right there
Trying hard not to break
Do you still remember the pain?
Do you still remember the pain? (the pain)
If you see me now, tell me
Did it ever change?
Do you still remember the pain?
Do you still remember my name?
I was your son, I was your son
Don't let that be erased
Do you still remember the pain?
Do you still remember the pain? (the pain)
If you hear me now, just tell me
Can you face it today?
