Hey Dad

(Intro)
hmmmmmmmmmmmm
Yeah... It's funny how time moves, but some things just... they don't fade.
This one’s for you, dad... Every scar..., every lesson..., every smile... every tear...
(Verse 1)
I remember the good days, yeah, even the bad ones too, from way back then,
The laughs, the fights, the quiet moments, we can't get those times again.
Like that first time you tossed me the keys to Mom's Thunderbird, heart pounding fast, you knew Mom would
pitch a fit, but you just winked, knew that feeling was gonna last.
(Verse 2)
Jo Jo's Pizza and subs.., that first shirt, seeing my name on the chest,
The way your face lit up, seeing my smile, man, that was the best.
Sometimes I lie awake, tracing back the lines, trying to figure it out,
How we went from that pure joy to where we were, riddled with doubt.
(Chorus)
Hey Dad, I gotta say I'm sorry,
Never meant to cut you deep, never meant to disappoint.
When I took off, young and lost, caught in my own damn zone,
It hits me now... felt like I left you standing all alone.
You're gone now, but your voice. Man, it's still in my head, clear as day,
"It's gonna be fine," still guiding me, lighting up my way.
(Verse 3)
Why couldn't I have done more. Been the son you could truly embrace.
That question's a heavy stone, still weighing me down, can't erase.
We had our differences, hell, what father and son don't go through the fire.
But you always pushed your hardest, always aiming higher.
(Verse 4)
You built me strong, showed me wrong from right, how to stand up and fight,
"Never throw the first punch, but finish it," you said, with all your might.
"No half-assing, if you're gonna do it, go all in, or don't even start,"
You taught me to chase what I want, put everything into my art, my heart.
(Chorus)
Hey Dad, I gotta say I'm sorry,
Never meant to cut you deep, never meant to disappoint.
When I took off, young and lost, caught in my own damn zone,
It hits me now... felt like I left you standing all alone.
You're gone now, but your voice. Man, it's still in my head, clear as day,
"It's gonna be fine," still guiding me, lighting up my way.
(Verse 5)
I still see your face in the mirror, sometimes, a flicker in my own eyes,
That stubborn set to the jaw, the way your wisdom could cut through all the lies.
And man, the regrets still hit me, like a cold wave when I least expect,
All the unspoken words, the chances I missed, the bond I should've protected.
(Verse 6)
They say time heals, but some scars just deepen, like lines etched in stone,
And your voice, Dad, it ain't just a memory, it's a feeling deep in my bone.
It's the whisper that pushes me forward when I'm ready to fall and quit,
The reason I'm still standing here, trying to make some sense of all of it.
(Chorus)
Hey Dad, I gotta say I'm sorry,
Never meant to cut you deep, never meant to disappoint.
When I took off, young and lost, caught in my own damn zone,
It hits me now... felt like I left you standing all alone.
You're gone now, but your voice. Man, it's still in my head, clear as day,
"It's gonna be fine," still guiding me, lighting up my way.
(Bridge)
Being a man... you instilled that truth in me early on,
Times were simpler then, seemed like we knew where we belonged.
Now the world's a storm, but your compass still points true,
Every choice I make, every step, feels connected to you.
(Outro)
So yeah... just wanted to put it out there, thank you, and I'm truly sorry for it all.
I love you, miss you like hell every damn day, feels like I'm gonna fall.
To the moon and back, Dad... that's always been our truth, our pact.
And I know you and Cat, you both got my back, keeping me on the right track.
Rest easy, dad. Rest easy... Gone but never forgotten....
