This song reflects on broken promises, emotional scars, and the lasting impact it leaves on children and families. Lyrics: [Intro] Yeah… Some people grow up with a father figure. Some don’t. And sometimes it’s not just one absence… it’s a pattern of people coming in… and leaving anyway. And after a while… you stop asking why. [Verse 1] I grew up learning how to read between goodbye How to smile when I didn’t understand why First man was a ghost, just a name in the sky Never saw his face, just the question in my mind Then came another, said he’d stick around Taught me what “family” was supposed to sound But promises fade when the pressure gets loud And he walked out too, same silence, same cloud Mom tried her best but I seen her break Trying to hold it together for all our sake But even strong hearts only take so much weight When everybody leaves, no matter what they say [Pre-Chorus] And I don’t blame her… I don’t blame me But something in us never learned how to believe That people don’t always leave when they see The parts of you that you hide underneath [Chorus] I GREW UP IN A HOUSE WITH NO FATHERS JUST DOORS THAT KEPT CLOSING AFTER EVERY MAN THAT PROMISED TO STAY JUST TURNED INTO ANOTHER FADED NAME AND IT BROKE MORE THAN JUST ME INSIDE IT TOOK PIECES OF MY MOTHER’S PRIDE NOW I CARRY WHAT THEY LEFT BEHIND A FAMILY TRYING TO HEAL IN TIME [Verse 2] I learned not to get too attached too fast ‘Cause everyone I trusted never seemed to last So I built walls just to make it pass Like love was something I couldn’t grasp My mom would cry when she thought we slept Thinking we didn’t hear every tear she kept Trying to be everything when nothing was left Still standing up even when life pressed And I grew angry but I never said That I missed the idea of a father instead Not a perfect man, just someone who stayed Instead of memories that slowly fade [Pre-Chorus] And I know it wasn’t all in her hands But I still wonder what I couldn’t understand Why some people leave when you need them to stand And never come back no matter the plans [Chorus] I GREW UP IN A HOUSE WITH NO FATHERS JUST QUESTIONS THAT NEVER GOT ANSWERS EVERY MAN THAT SAID HE’D BE THERE JUST BECAME A MEMORY IN THE AIR AND IT BROKE MORE THAN JUST ME INSIDE IT CHANGED THE WAY WE SURVIVED LIFE NOW WE’RE PIECES TRYING TO ALIGN IN A HOME THAT LEARNED HOW TO BE FINE [Bridge] I don’t hate them… I just stopped expecting them ‘Cause hope hurts more when it keeps leaving too [Final Chorus] I GREW UP IN A HOUSE WITH NO FATHERS BUT WE LEARNED HOW TO STILL MOVE AFTER EVERY LOSS THAT SHAPED WHO WE ARE EVERY SCAR THAT STILL FEELS TOO FAR AND MAYBE ONE DAY IT WON’T HURT LIKE THIS MAYBE ONE DAY WE’LL MAKE PEACE WITH IT BUT FOR NOW WE JUST LIVE WITH IT A FAMILY STILL TRYING TO FIX WHAT’S BROKEN IN IT [Outro] Yeah… Some people don’t grow up with a father. They grow up with the absence of one… over and over again. © VXLR. All Rights Reserved. Unauthorized reuploading or redistribution is prohibited.
