A song about coming out as Trans from a father's point of view
lyrics
Tried a walk with the dog
I don't do it enough
Maybe he doesn't trust me
Spent the night on a bar stool
Don't know what i ordered
I'm not really one for drinking
Couldn't brace for the news
It came so out of the blue
What do i call you when your name is changing
I have more anger than questions
Less pain than acceptance
But my heart is aching
Chorus
No one showed me how to
Love somebody like you
i've never even heard the
Damn words from my own father
I'll try
But I can't make you promises
No I can't make you promises
I thought I did what you needed
But you didn't feel it
Maybe I'm not convincing
I'll make due with a hug
I haven't seen you in months
Now you run away crying
You are my whole world
But I can't protect you
Tell me, am I failing
No one showed me how to
Love somebody like you
i've never even heard the
Damn words from my own father
I'll try
But I can't make you promises
No I can't make you promises
I wanted to give you Everthing
That I could never have
But to me its all a mystery
You walking a different path
Watching you carry
All this weight on your shoulders
Its a burden I will never face
I can
Only hope you thrive
Without me
Take my love and every
Damn thing
I can possibly give you
Cuz you are
Brighter than the whole world
You are
Better than i ever
Could be
Perfect enough for the both us
No one showed me how to
Love somebody like you
i've never even heard the
Damn words from my own father
I'll try
But I can't make you promises
No I can't make you promises
