Verse 1 You were always chasing something, never looking back at me, Eyes locked on the numbers like they’re all you’ll ever need. I learned how to stay quiet, how to shrink so you could shine, But every time you chose the dollar, you left me behind. Pre‑Chorus I tried to be the reason you’d finally want to stay, But you can’t compete with something he worships every day. Chorus My daddy loves money more than me— It’s the truth I never wanted but I’m finally letting breathe. I used to break myself trying to make him see, But I’m done fighting for a place he’ll never give to me. Yeah, my daddy loves money more than me— But I’m learning how to love myself, and that sets me free. Verse 2 I grew up in the shadows of the things he couldn’t feel, Thought if I became perfect, maybe then he’d think I’m real. But love ain’t in his language, it’s not something he can spend, So I’m walking out the door and choosing me instead. Chorus My daddy loves money more than me— It’s the truth I never wanted but I’m finally letting breathe. I used to break myself trying to make him see, But I’m done fighting for a place he’ll never give to me. Yeah, my daddy loves money more than me— But I’m learning how to love myself, and that sets me free. Bridge Maybe someday he’ll notice Everything he let slip through his hands. But I won’t wait for him to change— I’m building my own plans. Final Chorus My daddy loves money more than me— But I’m stronger than the story that he wrote without me. I’m rising from the silence where he used to leave me small, And I’m finding out I never needed him at all. Yeah, my daddy loves money more than me— But I’m finally free.
