letra de half their life - jordan knight

verse 1
dropped the kids off at the curbside tonight
waved goodbye through a fading sky
drove home slow just to buy more time
but the house still hit me like a fist tonight
empty shoes by the front door rail
echoes louder than a farewell
every room feels paper-thin
and i’m scared to breathe in all this quiet again

pre-chorus
and i know i’m still their dad
but god, some days it feels like half of me is missing too

chorus
’cause i’m only there for half their life
half the stories, half the nights
core mеmories i’ll never find
hanging up on somеone else’s fridge this time
and i keep telling myself it’s fine
but the truth cuts sharper when the house goes quiet
yeah, i’m only there for half their life
and the other half keeps breaking mine

verse 2
found a crayon in my coat last week
from a picture they drew on their last stay with me
i keep it close like a secret thing
a tiny reminder of the love i get to keep
and i scroll through moments that i wasn’t there to see
school-day stories, kitchen table dreams
not missing them like they’re far from me
just missing the days i don’t get to be in the scene
pre-chorus
and i know i’m still their dad
but nothing fills the sp-ce when they’re gone

chorus
’cause i’m only there for half their life
half the stories, half the nights
core memories i’ll never find
hanging up on someone else’s fridge this time
and i keep telling myself it’s fine
but the truth cuts like a f-cking knife
yeah, i’m only there for half their life
and the other half keeps breaking mine

bridge
but i’ll fight like h-ll for the days i get
every laugh, every tear, every moment left
i won’t lose myself in the loneliness
i’ll be right here when they come back again

final chorus (softer then exploding)
i’m only there for half their life
but i’ll love ‘em with everything twice as bright
every second, every try
i’ll carry the weight of the days i never get to write
and maybe someday it won’t hurt like tonight
but right now the quiet feels like a landslide
yeah, i’m only there for half their life
and the other half still breaks mine
