Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Did anyone ever tell you
good my son?
Did you feel that weight
when the work was done?
I held that house
with split hands and pride
Cold in my chest
but I stayed inside
I ain't the hero
I ain't your saint
I learned hard lessons
through the leaks and paint
You saw my back
you saw my fault
You saw the silence
I called a wall
[Pre-Chorus]
Did anyone help you
when it rained?
Did anything steer you
from the pain?
I was the hand
that you pushed away
I was the man
you still name today
[Chorus]
Would you love your dad again? (dad again~)
Would you love your dad again? (dad again~) again
If I bled for you
would you let me in?
Would you love your dad again? (dad again)
[Verse 2]
I missed a lot
I won't lie clean
Too many nights
between the seams
I heard your crying
through the door
And I froze up hard
like I had before
I said, "Be strong"
like that fixed it fast
But strength ain't a curse
that always lasts
Now you're grown
and your face looks mine
Same hard jaw
same old grind
[Pre-Chorus]
Did anyone help you
when it broke?
Did you ever feel
like a bad joke?
If I gave you truth
would you drop that shield?
If I said I'm scared
would you know it's real?
[Chorus]
Would you love your dad again? (dad again~)
Would you love your dad again? (dad again~) again
If I bled for you
would you let me in?
Would you love your dad again? (dad again~)
[Bridge]
I don't want applause
I want your eyes
I don't need a crown
I need replies
Tell me where I lost you
tell me the year
Tell me if my name
still brings the fear
If I fix my hands
if I face my past
Would that old wound
still cut so fast?
[Final Chorus]
Would you love your dad again? (dad again~)
Would you love your dad again? (dad again~) again
If I walked back through
could we start again?
Would you love your dad again? (dad again~)
Would you love your dad again? (dad again~)
Would you love your dad again? (dad again~) again
Did anyone help you when it rained?
Would you love your dad again? (dad again)
