Lyrics

Verse 1
I was waiting on the shore for someone to take me fishing
Had a ball in my hand but no one to throw it with me (no one…)
Learned to tie my tie from YouTube, not from you (not from you…)
And when I shaved my face, I cut it clean in two
Standing at the bowl, never taught me how to aim
First date, first dance, you were nowhere in the frame (nowhere…)
Every step I took, I looked around for you
But the silence in the house was all I ever knew (all I ever knew…)
Hook
Daddy, why did you leave me? (leave me, yeah…)
Daddy, why didn’t you love me? (ohhh no…)
Daddy, why didn’t you stay? (stay, stay, stay…)
Daddy, why did you pick the other family? (why them, not me?)
Daddy, why did you leave me? (why’d you go…)
Daddy, why didn’t you see me? (see me, see me…)
Daddy, why didn’t you stay? (ohhh, no…)
Daddy, why did you pick the other family? (why them, not me?)
Verse 2
Mom held my hand from the bus to the class
You missed me grow up, u were out chasing ass (out chasing…)
First day of preschool to the first day of college
She gave me her love when you gave me your silence (gave me nothing…)
Graduation day, you showed up, empty hands
No gift, full of pride, but you’re a stranger in the stands (stranger…)
I became the father of the house way too young
But I never got the chance to just be the son (never got the chance…)
Hook
Daddy, why did you leave me? (leave me, yeah…)
Daddy, why didn’t you love me? (ohhh no…)
Daddy, why didn’t you stay? (stay, stay, stay…)
Daddy, why did you pick the other family? (why them, not me?)
Daddy, why did you leave me? (why’d you go…)
Daddy, why didn’t you see me? (see me, see me…)
Daddy, why didn’t you stay? (ohhh, no…)
Daddy, why did you pick the other family? (why them, not me?)
Bridge (spoken)
Daddy… I’m standing here, but I don’t feel like a man.
You built this hollow shell with your empty hands.
I’m not who I should be… I’m broken, and it’s all because of you.
Every crack in me, every mistake, every lost moment traces back to you.
Hook (final, with anger in voice)
Daddy, why did you leave me?! (leave me!)
Daddy, why didn’t you love me?! (love me!)
Daddy, why didn’t you stay?! (stay, stay, stay!)
Daddy, why did you pick the other family?! (why them, not me?)
Daddy, why did you leave me?! (leave me, yeah…)
Daddy, why didn’t you see me?! (see me, see me…)
Daddy, why didn’t you stay?! (ohhh, no…)
Daddy, why did you throw my whole life away?! (you threw it away…)
Outro
You should’ve been my hero… (yeahhh!) but you walked away.
You should’ve been my father… (my father!) but you chose them anyway.
