I Owe

(album: Uh Oh - 2005)

[Verse 1:]
Daddy you came from a land far away
Married a woman you only knew 2 days
Daddy you had 3 kids
You couldn't walk away, (walk away)
Dad you had a plan that didn't go your way
Let the chips fall where they lay
Save the sun for another day
Looked into your babies eyes
And decided to stay

[Chorus:]
For all the scars I'm trying to heal
For all the nights I lived in fear
I owe
I owe
For giving me the strength to choose
To look in the mirror and not see you
I owe
I owe

[Verse 2:]
Daddy what will you be when you come threw that door?
In a drunken rage or passed out on the floor?
Daddy I don't recognize you no more
Mama said only the good die young
But what's good bout what you've done?
All your bad just made me strong
I'll do right from all your wrong
Sometimes in life
We know not what we do
Let me speak my mind
And say these words to you

[Chorus:]
For all the scars I'm trying to heal
For all the nights I lived in fear
I owe
I owe
For giving me the strength to choose
To look in the mirror and not see you
I owe
I owe

[Verse 3:]
Daddy you came from a land far away
Lived a fast life so fast it slipped away
Daddy you'd be so proud
To see what I've turned out to be
Sometimes in life
We know not what we do
Let me speak my mind
And say these words to you

[Chorus:]
For all the scars I'm trying to heal
For all the nights I lived in fear
I owe
I owe
For giving me the strength to choose
To look in the mirror and not see you
I owe
I owe

[Verse 4:]
Daddy I love you
Daddy I miss you
Wish you were here with me right now
Don't worry
I miss you
I wish you were here
I need you
I want you to be near
I-I-I-I-I-I-I love you
I-I-I-I-I-I-I miss you
I love you
