[Verse 1]
I know I wasn’t always where I should’ve been
Missed some birthdays, missed some moments I can’t get again
But I was fighting battles I ain’t talk about
Trying to find the man I am — I’m still figuring him out
I ain’t proud of every choice, but I learned from the fall
Trying to be the type of man you can one day call
When you’re hurting, when you’re lost, when you’re chasing your light
I’ll be better than I was — starting tonight
[Hook / Chorus]
This is my song to you
When you wonder if I ever knew
What you needed,
what you felt,
what you missed
I promise I’ll make up for it with every breath I live
I made mistakes, but I’m making amends
Becoming better for me, for you, and my friends
If you ever doubt my heart or my role
Just know I love you, even when I had no control
[Verse 2]
Sometimes life don’t give us the fair fight
Some things I couldn’t fix, even when I tried
But I’m healing, and I hope that one day you’ll see
The version of me I always wanted to be
I see your pictures, hear your laughs in my mind
Every part of you keeps me walking the line
One day we’ll sit down, and I’ll tell you it all
And you’ll see your daddy didn’t quit, he just had to crawl
⸻
[Hook / Chorus — repeat]
This is my song to you
When you wonder if I ever knew
What you needed,
what you felt,
what you missed
I promise I’ll make up for it with every breath I live
I made mistakes, but I’m making amends
Becoming better for me, for you, and my friends
If you ever doubt my heart or my role
Just know I love you, even when I had no control
[Bridge]
And if the world ever tells you I didn’t try
Play this song, and look up to the sky
Know your name gave me strength when I was weak
And your love made me speak when I couldn’t speak
[Outro]
So when the day comes and we stand face to face
I’ll hold you close, no time to replace
But a future to build, a bond to grow
And a daddy who learned what he needed to know
Kal
