I Gave What I Could

V5.5

[Verse 1] Till heren You came into this world So tiny in my hands Fighting from your very first breath Long before you learned to stand You loved every living creature Worked so hard to earn your dreams Even when our home was falling apart You were stronger than you seemed [Verse 2] Then life pulled us both apart And I became the man to blame Still I never stopped believing You would someday call my name When your world came crashing down I answered without asking why Paid the bills, brought food, gave hope Because a father's love won't die [Chorus] I gave what I could give More than words could ever say Opened every door I had When you had nowhere else to stay I never kept the score Never asked for anything I only hoped that one day You would see what love can bring [Verse 3] I gave you back my home So you could build your own new start Watched you find another life And wished you all my heart But somewhere truth grew silent And trust began to fade Different stories, broken promises And choices that were made [Bridge] Then one night everything changed Anger filled the room The house that once gave shelter Became a place of wounds That wasn't where this story started And it's not how I hoped it'd end But some doors close forever When they can no longer mend [Final Chorus] I gave what I could give Everything I had inside Not because I had to But because I was your guide Today I choose my peace Not out of hate or pride Some roads simply end When there's nothing left to find [Outro] I carry no revenge I carry no disguise Only the quiet truth That I did all I could And this... Is where I draw the line.
