Daddy waited up in the kitchen by himself
I came stumbling in that night with liquor on my breath
He said, "Son, I know you live here
But this is still my home
It's my way or the highway"
So I said, "Alright, I'm gone"
And before I slammed that door
I said, "I hate you!"
He just shook his head
And said, "Okay
"But you can't stop my love for you
It'll be here, that's a given
As long as I am living on this Earth
One thing is true
You can turn away, forget me, curse my name
But love won't let me let you go
Son, always know... my love is unconditional"
Life is like a circle, slowly turning on itself
And girl, it took losing you to finally know how daddy felt
We stood in this bedroom a year ago today
Hangin' onto pride and anger as we threw our love away
And before you slammed that door
You said, "I hate you!"
But tonight, if only you can hear me say
You can't stop my love for you
It'll be here, that's a given
As long as I am living on this Earth
One thing is true
You can turn away, forget me, curse my name
But love won't let me let you go
Girl, always know... my love is unconditional
You can turn away, forget me, curse my name
You can even let me go
But you need to know... my love is unconditional
