[Viola Intro] Verse 1 No one really knows this but my dad was abusive I loved him though, I really did, that part never moved me At home it was chaos, he used to beat my mom badly Like to a point where we just wanted it to end sadly I used to sit there thinking life shouldn’t be like this Just noise in the house, fists, and tight fists There were days I thought maybe I should just die Drink pills, hang myself, just say goodbye So they could finally see what they were doing to us Me and my sister just stuck in that trust-less house I even thought of leaving a note, blaming him Like “I can’t live like this, this is where it all begins” That’s how bad it was, I won’t even lie I was a kid but I was already asking why Why is my home like this, why can’t it be calm Why is every day like waiting for harm Bridge I forgave him before he left this earth Two years of peace showed me his worth Verse 2 There was a time we were at my aunt’s place My mom’s sister, just trying to take space They called asking when we coming back home Next thing he’s on the phone, full blown tone Swearing at my aunt, just disrespecting her We went home after that, everything got worse My mom said she’ll call the police this time They came, he denied everything, said no crime Soon as they left it was back to the same Shouting, hitting, like nothing changed Another time I walked in and saw my mom’s eye Swollen so bad I couldn’t even lie That image stayed in my head for years I was just a kid holding back tears House was always noise, no peace at all Every day felt like waiting for a fall Bridge I forgave him before he left this earth Two years of peace showed me his worth Verse 3 One day I shouted “shut up” in the house He opened my door, said I’ll beat you down I was crying, I was scared, I just froze That’s the kind of place I grew up in, you know But then later he called me, said sorry for the noise And said one day I’ll leave you guys with peace, can still hear his voice I didn’t even know what that meant at the time Thought he meant just moving, not changing his life But something did change later on He became different, the anger was gone No more beating, no more shouting in the house It was actually peace, I could hear it out loud We started learning from him, it felt new Like I finally had a dad I could go to That only lasted like two years before he passed But those two years felt like the real dad at last Bridge I forgave him before he left this earth Two years of peace showed me his worth [Viola Outro]
