[verse 1]
uh
she was born a year after they were there in a church
he was a proud father, only parent that worked
he’s climbing up, working so hard that he could k!ll himself
telling everybody he’s the father of a little girl
baby pictures taken pride on the mantelpiece
but someone gotta go out and provide for the family (uh)
putting food on the table (uh), being the breadwinner
working late into the night so he could forget dinner
he plays dad where we can and he generally thinks
when he get times off of work she’ll wanna spend it with him
but not at all, she politely asked not to walk
with him when they’re visiting the shopping mall
when she doesn’t wanna hold his hand, it does let him down
she says, “dad, i’m way too old for that, i’m eleven now
what if someone sees me? what if i got friends around?”
the more he climbs the ladder in his job the less he’s down
he’s bought rings to keep old things domestic in order
a token gesture he saw as tryna connect with his daughter
but she says, “i would never raise my kids the way he did”
oblivious to his love and lessons on the way to live
and he’s oblivious to why she’s upset
’cause in his mind he’s really trying his best but it’s not working
one day he says to her, “i’m sorry, love, i’m not perfect”
she says, “leave me alone, i know doing this is not worth it”
[refrain 1]
he gets [?], says to his daughter, “you’re the love of my life”
arms stretched, gave her a hug as they cried
after all those years climbing, being a man of the world
it was finally understanding his girl for the first time
he told his daughter, “you’re the love of my life”
arms stretched, gave her a hug as they cried
after all those years climbing, being a man of the world
it was finally understanding his girl for the first time

[verse 2]
she was a mother now and also there is a dad
’cause since he shot through he was the only parent he had
she’s never been one for working hard but she’s still employed telling everybody she’s the mother of a little boy
and baby pictures taken pride on the mantelpieces
but someone gotta go out and provide for the family
putting food on the table being the breadwinner
working late into the night so she could forget dinner
she plays mom where she can and i guess she deserves
that when she gets time off, he’ll want to spend it with her
but not at all, he politely asked not to walk
with her when they’re visiting the shopping mall
and when he doesn’t wanna hold her hand, it does let her down
he says, “mum, i’m way too old for that, i’m seven now
what if someone sees me? what if i got friends around?”
she’s devastated inside, but never making any sound
she’s all alone, she got herself as a partner
so she’s eventually asking for some help from her father
she used to say, “i would never raise my kids the way he did”
twenty years later and she’s asking him to babysit
and he’s oblivious to what she’s upset
but in her mind she’s really trying her best but it’s not working
one day she says to him, “i don’t get it, i’m not perfect
when he leaves me alone, it just feels like it’s not worth it”
[refrain 2]
he says, “darlin’, i remember you were that kind of age
don’t you know you were exactly the same?”
so after all those criticisms of her family she had
she was finally understanding her dad for the first time
he says, “darlin’, i remember you were that kind of age
don’t you know you were exactly the same?”
so after all those criticisms of her father and her family she had
she was finally understanding her dad for the first time

[outro]
why don’t you give him a chance? it’s like
i can’t, i won’t, i can’t, i won’t
let you leave
now, now
i don’t know what you want, you want
want from me (what you want from me)
uh, so he said to him
“i want you to be a father, i’m your little boy
