Some men claim to have daddy issues
He was not there did not care
Did not provide
No security's no pats on your shoulder
No advise for when you grew older
No driving you to games, no great example no hero of the day
Not always there come what may
No savior, no big arms to pick you up when you were down
No king no crown
Just a cap and no claims on fatherhood, no stones to step
He never thought you to shave
He never brought you to school
He never had encouraging words to speak
He stood by and sometimes watched from a distance
Making you doubt your own existence
And there by the side lines he declined any sense of responsibility
Pulled back in to the shadow that dark place of invisibility
Do not confuse daddy issues with you, it's just that your daddy had issues
It's in the past laugh and cry, get it all out, the boy you once where, you left behind
And then be done with it and move on forward...
today and tomorrow deserve your attention
They will provide you with challenges and tensions
Make sure you make your daughter smiles and make your boy laugh
Make sure they'll remember you with a smile when they are older
And when their mom cries, make sure you hold her
Don't be confused about daddy issues, just because your daddy had issues
Be the man you are and aspire to be with your broad way shoulders
Don't let it make you a man of steel
Wounds they hurt, but wounds they heel
Just scares remain as a reminder of older days
With all you became and you all you are, you have better ways
Reclaim your worth, look at your future and your today
Not in the shadows but standing together
Come what may come what may
So what if your daddy had issues he will never be half the man you have become
Leave it be and be proud with the past you are done
So be better and be bolder, be whom you wish to be
Be everything except for your daddy
