Testo Father's Shadow - K.P.L
Testo della canzone Father's Shadow (K.P.L), tratta dall'album DEAR THERAPIST...
Dear therapist
People always ask me
Why is it so hard for you to trust?
Maybe it started long before my first heartbreak
Maybe it started at home
(K.P.L, you did it again)
I grew up looking for a hero in my life
Someone to teach me how to win every fight
I watched other kids walking hand in hand
While I kept wondering if you'd understand
Mama did her best to fill every empty space
But some questions only a father can replace
I kept telling everyone that I was okay
Even though I wished you'd come around someday
Every birthday, I hoped you'd walk through the door
Every year, I believed just a little bit more
But time kept moving and nothing really changed
So I learned how to hide all the pain
Father's shadow, I keep chasing you
Trying to find answers I never knew
I don't hate you, I just wanted your time
Sometimes a child only needs one sign
Growing older made me see life another way
Maybe you were fighting battles every day
Maybe nobody ever showed you how to love
Maybe you were hurting more than enough
I'm not writing this to make you feel ashamed
I'm just trying to understand the pain
Because I don't want my story to repeat
I want my children to feel complete
If we ever sit down and talk one day
I won't have perfect words to say
I'll just tell you I needed you around
Even if it was only for a little while
Dear therapist
Do broken fathers raise broken sons?
Or can love break the cycle?
Father's shadow, I'm learning to let go
Some wounds heal slowly, but they still grow
I forgive, even if I don't understand
Because peace starts inside this heart
Maybe one day we'll talk
Until then, I'll become the man I needed when I was young
(K.P.L, you did it again)
K.P.L, you did it again
