Daddy

(album: His Glory Alone II - 2023)

The scars that you left behind with me
Left me so messed up, I don't know how to be free
When you left, you took my security
Now I can't give my heart away, it's too scary

Even if she shows me, she trusts me
I can't trust enough to know she won't hurt me
Like you did, like you did
Like you did, Daddy

Did you know I've been to therapy?
Abandonment's the word she used for me
But at least I've named the thing that hinders me
Now I can finally find a way to live in peace

So no more excuses here from me
It's time to move on and let you be
Like you did, like you did
Like you did, Daddy

Did you know I found the love of my life?
Did you know I lost the love of my life?
Did you know I have a son in my life?
Did you know we almost lost his life?

And did you know I remember the day
Remember the year and my age?
Did you know I remember Mom's face?
The way she cried will never be erased
From my head, from head
From my head, Daddy

Yeah

Daddy, don't you worry, we are on a journey
Daddy, don't you

Are you ever proud of me? Do you ever smile at me?
My boys, they won't ever feel this pain
I could not replace you, uh
Though I prayed to, Daddy, did you
Daddy, did you know?
Yeah, know how much I missed you?
I still do, but Daddy, I'll let go
Let go
Daddy, I'm fine, I'm a man now
Let go

I forgive, I forgive
I forgive you, Daddy
