lirik lagu meanor - paper father
mmm
mmm
hmmm
mmm
you had to be my world
my protector, my wall
you were supposed to be my everything
but the silence filled the halls
your voice was just a ghost
you gave me gifts, not love, not listening
but i learned too soon
how to fix my wounds
with hands that never stopped shaking
you were miles away
even when you’d stay
your eyes already escaping
i built myself from pieces you forgot
from broken dreams and ties you never knotted
you gave me gold, but not your time
and i kept pretending i’m fine
i wished you’d show up, just once in the crowd
say “i’m proud of you” out loud
but all i got was just your name
and echoes wrapped in fame
every birthday call
felt like a duty, not a thought
your voice all static and distance
you’d ask if i’m okay
but never stayed to hear
the truth behind the sentence
you called when things were bad
or when you had to prove
that you’re a father people envy
but you never saw the nights
i cried beneath the lights
hoping one day you’d come and save me
and i blamed myself
for your empty chair
for never being enough to make you care
i tried to draw your face from memory
but it blurs into a stranger’s scenery
i wonder if you’d even notice me
i built myself from pieces you forgot
from broken dreams and ties you never knotted
you gave me gold, but not your time
and i kept pretending i’m fine
i wished you’d show up, just once in the crowd
say “i’m proud of you” out loud
but all i got was just your name
and echoes wrapped in fame
when the nights get cold
and the noise in my head grows louder
i wanted a voice that said “i’m proud of her”
maybe i’ll learn to forgive someday
when the ache inside me fades away
you taught me strength by letting go
of what i’ll never know
i built myself from what you left behind
learned how to stand without your light
you gave me gold, i wanted love
you gave me sp~ce, i wanted trust
but maybe one day
you’ll see the girl you made
and wish you stayed
i built myself from what you couldn’t give
and somehow i still learned to live
you gave me distance, i found peace
and now i set you free
mmm
mmm
