Still their Dad

There's a spare key on my ring To a door I can't walk through I keep meaning to take it off I guess I'm not ready to Dropped them off a little after nine Watched them slowly go inside Then I drove nowhere for an hour or two Just to have somewhere I was going to Used to know the man behind the wheel What he wanted, where he belonged Now I measure out my life in weekends And try to figure out where I went wrong I still love you That's the hardest part We just got too good At tearing us apart You can take the house Take my name off the door Take the life I thought I was living for Take the man I used to be Take every piece you need But there's one thing You'll never take from me I'm still their dad I'm still their dad Even if I don't know Who the hell I am I'm still their dad There's a bedroom in this little place With their pictures on the wall And a box of toys beside the bed That they hardly touch at all Wednesday nights I call them up Ask about their day at school They tell me things that make me laugh I pretend I'm doing fine too Then the weekend comes around again And they're fighting in the back Over who gets to choose the music And when we're getting back For a little while it's just like before We're singing every song Then I'm standing in the driveway And they're waving from the door And I know They're gonna be alright But God, I miss the little things That used to fill my life You can take the house Take my name off the door Take the life I thought I was living for Take the man I used to be Take every piece you need But there's one thing You'll never take from me I'm still their dad I'm still their dad Even if I don't know Who the hell I am I'm still their dad I don't want them choosing sides Don't want them carrying our pain Don't want them thinking for a second They're the reason things have changed And I can live without the house I can learn to sleep alone But I'll be there when they need me Every road will lead me home I might never find the answers To the questions in my head I might never be the man I always thought I'd be back then But I'll always be their dad You can take the house Take my name off the door Take the life I thought I was living for Take the man I used to be Take every piece you need But there's one thing You'll never take from me I'm still their dad I'm still their dad Even if I don't know Who the hell I am I'm still their dad When the whole damn world Comes crashing down When they need somebody I'll be around Through every heartbreak Every tear they've shed Whatever happens next I'm still their dad I'm still their dad There's a spare key on my ring To a door I can't walk through Maybe I should take it off Maybe it's time I do I'm still their dad
