Lyrics

[Verse 1]
On a quiet little street, in a world so wide,
I came into this life with no one by my side.
You chose a shiny car over the son you should have held,
Every tear that fell for you, it only spelled my hell.
I reached out for your hand, I was just a little boy,
With a heart that's yearning, craving love, and joy.
But every door I knocked on was met with silent screams,
I chased a ghost of a father, lost in broken dreams.

[Chorus]
Why didn't you want me? Was it something I had done?
Did you ever think I'd grow up, to be your only son?
With every sleepless night, your absence left me numb,
Why didn't you want me, ever hold me in your arms?

[Verse 2]
Years went by like shadows on the wall,
I tried to reach you, but you never heard my call.
Every birthday passed with the light of faded hope,
In the mirror, I saw the man who learned to cope.
But how could I forgive you for the pain you left behind?
A father’s love was like a puzzle, pieces hard to find.
I became a better man, a father to my own,
Vows made in the quiet, never to be alone.

[Chorus]
Why didn't you want me? Did you see me as a loss?
With every scar I carry, I learned to bear the cross.
Your absence taught me lessons through the darkest nights I've known,
Why didn't you want me, didn’t want to share your throne?


[Bridge]
Now I'm watching my children, as they laugh and play,
A love that’s unconditional, they seize the day.
I vowed to be the father that you never tried to be,
To lift them higher, be the roots of their tree.
Every hug, every kiss, I’ll hold them tight,
Showing them the way, I’ll guide them through the night.
Just the thought of leaving them makes my heart shatter,
Because for them, my love is the only thing that matters.

[Verse 3]
Still, sometimes I wonder in the silence of the dark,
What’s it like to feel the warmth of a father’s heart?
Was I too much to handle? Were you scared of what it means?
Did the chase for a fast life blind you from my dreams?
But now I stand a mountain, my love can never fade,
As I hold my children close, I’ll never make that trade.
For every question lingers, floating in the air,
Why didn't you want me? And do you even care?

[Outro]
So, I’ll keep on loving them, in every little way,
Building bridges that you never chose to lay.
And though the past is heavy, my heart will always roam,
Why didn’t you want me? I found love, I found home.
