daddy issues, happy ending by Aleksandra

[Verse 1 – A (soft)]
you’re twice my friends’ big brother’s age
laugh lines, tired eyes, coffee stains
you ask if my dad ever calls
I laugh too loud, change the song

[Pre-Chorus – B (deep/rough)]
you hold the door, then my stare
wrong time, wrong life, wrong gray hair
I’m not a kid, I’m a car crash
slow burn, fast heart, relapse (yeah)

[Chorus – A + B gang]
guess I got daddy issues, lucky you
raised myself, now I’m raising hell with you
you say I’m trouble, but you still let me in
I chase the men who should’ve taught me what love is
daddy issues, but a happy ending
older hands, younger heart mending
if I’m a mess, you’re a beautiful sin
we’re both too grown to pretend

[Verse 2 – C (rap)]
met you at the bar, talkin’ ‘bout your teenage kid
said you feel too old for this, then you asked me what I did
told you I survive on crumbs and panic from my past
you said, “that sounds like my house, ‘fore I learned to pack and leave fast”
I don’t need a father, I need someone who can stay
who texts back in the morning, remembers what I say
you taught me how to breathe, not to beg to be believed
kinda hot, kinda scary, how you make it feel safe to need (uh)

[Pre-Chorus – A (soft) + B (low harmony)]
you read my scars like headlines
don’t run, don’t spin the story this time
you ask my age, then my dreams
first man who cared what that means (oh)

[Chorus – A + B + C ad-libs]
guess I got daddy issues, lucky you
raised myself, now I’m raising hell with you (with you)
you say I’m trouble, but you still let me in
I chase the men who should’ve taught me what love is (what love is)
daddy issues, but a happy ending
older hands, younger heart mending
if I’m a mess, you’re a beautiful sin
we’re both too grown to pretend

[Bridge – A + C]
[A]
you kiss my forehead like you know
all the versions of me I don’t show
I’m learning soft from your slow touch
learning “enough” can be enough

[C – rap]
age gap, late-night, meet-me-on-the-same-page
I’ve been stuck at sixteen, you’ve been stuck in old rage
two timelines tangled on your couch in the dark
he walked out, you walked in, now I’m re-writing my heart (yeah)

[Chorus – full group]
guess I got daddy issues, lucky you
raised myself, now I’m raising hell with you
you say I’m broken, I say, “baby, so are you”
maybe that’s the reason every promise feels true
daddy issues, but a happy ending
older hands, younger heart mending
if I’m a mess, you’re a beautiful sin
wrong on paper, right underneath my skin (oh)
