No one tells you how to be a father
One day there's a baby staring at you
So perfect and unblemished head to toe
And all you see if all the ways you'll fail her
All the ways you're lacking
Best to hide in work,
Cause money is the only thing you know
You tell yourself don't even bother
A daughter needs a mother, she'll be fine
Go earn that dime
But all she wants
Is a little more of her time
One day she looks up, and you're a stranger
You don't know the names, of any of her friends
If there's a door, she's on the other side
And in your house, you never know your role
No title or control
So back to work you go
You'll always find a reason there to hide
You tell yourself
All this stuff you accumulate's enough
And the you jus ignore the signs
When all she wants is a little more of your time
The only thing that counts
You gave to someone else
A little more of your time
