| His daughter pulling on his sweater
|
| With tears in her eyes like we need you more than ever
|
| Daddy don’t go, things’ll get better
|
| Written on her face man, we need you more than ever
|
| Please don’t leave, we should stay together
|
| At least be strong for me, I need you more than ever
|
| Let God be your sunshine through this rough weather
|
| 'Cause you my umbrella and I need you more than ever
|
| Oh, so you regret that you met her?
|
| Well, you had me and I need you more than ever
|
| We got a bond that ties you can’t sever
|
| Tearing us apart Pop, we need you more than ever
|
| Divorce you got to admit, man it’s not that clever
|
| At a time like this when I need you more than ever
|
| Bail on us now? |
| I’m hoping you would never
|
| Fight the good fight 'cause we need you more than ever
|
| Man, feeling like a cold night even when it’s daylight
|
| Wishing we could stay tight
|
| You know this ain’t right
|
| Abandoning your role like you had stage fright
|
| Lord knows we need you more than ever
|
| Calls on the weekends, visits in the summer time
|
| Miscommunication, back and forward with you and mom
|
| I ain’t ready for that!
|
| I want you to decide and stay by my side
|
| 'Cause we need you more than (more than)
|
| Don’t go, don’t go. |
| I need you now more than ever
|
| I need you now weather
|
| You be the one to show me right from wrong, yeah!
|
| Work it out, work it out for me
|
| Let Jesus be the guide and he’ll show you how to
|
| Work it out, work it out for me
|
| I still need You to be here
|
| Daddy looks into her pretty eyes
|
| Her cry out is being minimized
|
| He goes to open up his mouth
|
| To say something but not a word comes out
|
| Rubs her back saying «It'll be alright
|
| You’ll forget about it once we get to Chuck E. Cheese tonight
|
| Besides don’t you want your mom and me to be
|
| Happy as we can be without us being mean?
|
| Yeah I know, but daddy loves you baby
|
| I’m still around I mean, I’ll come to see you daily»
|
| He wipes her face, planted a kiss
|
| If she can read his mind, it goes something like this:
|
| I’m unhappy, I’ve been faking the whole time
|
| Feeling like I’m stuck cause me and her
|
| Plus we have nothing in common
|
| I wanna feel love again, I’m sick of the drama
|
| Husband? |
| How come I feel less than
|
| That we supposed to be closer than close, best friends
|
| This is too much work but yo
|
| This is what our pastor told us before church ago
|
| Of course the Lord has y’all together for a reason
|
| Not to be happy but to be more like Jesus
|
| As long as we’re alive, we going to feel the pressure
|
| And you can’t do it alone, y’all need the Lord more than ever
|
| Don’t go, don’t go. |
| I need you now more than ever
|
| I need you now weather
|
| You be the one to show me right from wrong, yeah!
|
| Work it out, work it out for me
|
| Let Jesus be the guide and he’ll show you how to
|
| Work it out, work it out for me
|
| I still need You to be here
|
| One part of me hates you, the other part of me is jealous
|
| A small part of me thanks you
|
| Your negligence has given me a reason to breathe
|
| I’m a step-father raising a worthless man’s daughter
|
| And if you’ve ever seen her smile, you wouldn’t question why I bother
|
| It is my cross to bear
|
| Imma come off the bench dad
|
| JV second-string substitute step-dad
|
| Listen I understand some things just don’t work out
|
| Her mom can be a handful, believe me I know
|
| But that’s not your daughter’s fault
|
| Oh, we got them gifts you brought
|
| But she would trade it all for a half hour of your time
|
| See me and her have bonded now, it’s been years
|
| She calls me daddy now
|
| You don’t know how long I’ve yearned to hear words you aren’t worthy of
|
| She sees you as a stranger
|
| She is scared of your touch
|
| Yet her lil' brain is so conflicted
|
| Because she misses you and don’t know why
|
| It’s crazy, sometimes I see my sister’s personality in her
|
| I’m so tempted to say she gets her eyes and sense of humor from me
|
| I know that’s delusional but I’m so afraid of losing her
|
| Falling into that U-shaped black hole in her six year old soul
|
| And it cuts my tongue to admit it but she needs you more than ever
|
| That’s how much I love her
|
| I am willing to admit that she does need you
|
| I believe my little girl
|
| Her very breath is a blessing
|
| From doing her laundry to trying and explain sovereignty
|
| I would love her as my own
|
| Be the father God called me to be, it honestly compels me
|
| My dude she needs you (more than ever)
|
| Don’t go, don’t go. |
| I need you now more than ever
|
| I need you now weather
|
| You be the one to show me right from wrong, yeah!
|
| Work it out, work it out for me
|
| Let Jesus be the guide and he’ll show you how to
|
| Work it out, work it out for me
|
| I still need You to be here |
