I'll give you everything I ever had
I hope you know that
But now I have it, I don't need it
It's important that you see it
Money often makes a never home dad
Is it worth all the times when I'm never here?
Is it worth it when daddy can't dry your tears?
Is it life or just a living?
Kids and wife is not a given
I wish I could be a stay-at-home-dad

And all the dreams I had
I still see them in your eyes

Now, you can hurt me more than I have ever been hurt before
I've been hurt before
I live, I live, I live
I live like this forever
I still have all the wounds he left but they don't hurt no more
Like they've hurt before
I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish that he could have seen you

I'm gonna miss the most important things
And I know that
Your first words, a couple steps
At least we got so many left
Your mom's so good, she never made me look back
And she knows all the times when I'm far from home
In a room full of people but all alone
It gets me thinking when we're smoking and we're drinking
I wish I could be a stay-at-home-dad

And all the dreams I had
I still see them in your eyes

Now, you can hurt me more than I have ever been hurt before
I've been hurt before
I live, I live, I live
I live like this forever
I still have all the wounds he left but they don't hurt no more
Like they've hurt before
I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish that he could have seen you

Now, you can hurt me more than I have ever been hurt before
I've been hurt before
I live, I live, I live
I live like this forever
I still have all the wounds he left but they don't hurt no more
Like they've hurt before
I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish that he could have seen you
