VERSE

This one's for the fathers fighting silent wars

For the kids caught in the middle

And for you,

Alexandria

VERSE

Ten years in the shadows watching love decay

Targeted parent tears I hide away

Parental alienation, poison in the vein

Psychological warfare wrapped inside the pain

House turned battlefield, family torn apart

Every little lie drove a knife through the heart

Use manipulation like a snake in the grass

Turn my little girl away so the bond wouldn't last

No one sees the damage when the silence gets loud

When you're crying in the dark and still standing proud

Therapy and family trying to keep me alive

But someday survival's the hardest damn drive

CHORUS

Lost in the echoes of a fractured home

Trying to be a father while you die alone

Tried to pull away in a war I never chose

Now I'm holding onto memories nobody knows

Am I stupid?

You hear my voice through the lies they say

Through the cold, through the rain, through the storm above

A father never stops giving unconditional love

Father never stops giving unconditional love

VERSE

My darling, I remember your birth

First time I held you, knew your soul was my world

Cheeky little smile under bright blue skies

Now I replay those moments while the old man cries

And the day

Then Mother told me leave

Heart shattered so bad I could barely breathe

You looked at me and said it's okay, daddy dear

Didn't know the storm was already here

Lost you twice, once at the door

Second through a lawyer saying don't come no more

Let her hit harder than a bullet could do

Cause grieving the living leaves a permanent wound

CHORUS

Lost in the echoes of a fractured home

Trying to be a father while you die alone

Thought I'd put away in a war I never chose

Now I'm holding on to memories nobody knows

And I still pray

You hear my voice through the lies they say

Through the cold, through the pain, through the storm above

A father never stops giving unconditional love

BRIDGE

Victim narratives control tactics.

So the little whispers turned into habits always someone else to blame

in the game

She made while truth got buried in your trust betrayed psychological abuse got boots in the past trauma keep recycling shadows move fast

Experts warn how to shape them begins one pair and rewrites where the loyalty bends but listen little girl you're smarter than fear

independent thinker, truth becomes clear one day you'll analyze the pieces yourself

and see what was hidden up on the shelf I ain't

asked if I hate your revenge or spite there's a chance for healing and to make things right

reconnection takes time and the wounds run deep

but a father's love ain't something that sleeps

VERSE

I'll be here through the years through the silence and the tears

No matter where this road may go

You'll always have a place called home

Oh, your sisters and your brothers still carry your name

Family fires burning, though nothing's the same

And every birthday candle, every

Christmas light

Reminds me of the daughter I still hold tight

Mom over your shoulder trying to steer the view

But life teaches lessons when the years break through

I trust someday your heart will seek what's real

And you'll understand the depth of what I feel

Your well-being for

Always has been true

Every step I take

Still considers you open arms, open door

No conditions attached

Even after all the bridges that were flat

CHORUS

Lost in the echoes of a fractured home

Still calling your name though I stand alone

Thought I pulled away in a war I never chose

But love survives deeper than anybody knows

And I still pray

One day the darkness fades away

Through the hurt, through the years, through the scars we hide

I'll be waiting right here

With love and pride

OUTRO

To every parent fighting this pain

Stay alive

Stay strong The story ain't over yet
