HEART STRINGS Lyrics

This one's to the dads that are broken, always chosen last

Expected to pick up the pieces of shattered glass

Just because what we had didn't last, now we're the ones being attacked

And they're gone just like that

They break our hearts, to watch us fall apart

Cut us so deep, they leave scars

Wanna walk away with a fresh start

But the little ones stold our heart

We're just dads doing the best we can

To give our kids a life that we never had

We live to love and fight we turned around

We're being stabbed in the back, kicked while we're down

They'll deny everything

Stand on our chest so we can't breathe

They love to watch us bleed, while they pull on our heart strings

He's been through it all, drinking whiskey till he falls

He's drowning at the bottom of the bottle

This world's so hostile, he's down on his knees

Praying to God to set him free

He don't wanna bleed, but the wounds are way too deep

Just a man with a heart full of love

But it feels like he's never enough

He's tired of the pain that's driving him insane

He'll fight through the rain

We're just dads doing the best we can

To give our kids a life that we never had

We live to love and fight , we turned around

We're being stabbed in the back, kicked while we're down

They'll deny everything

Stand on our chest so we can't breathe

They love to watch us bleed, while they pull on our heart strings

Why do they watch us bleed

Take a walk in my shoes, you'll see I'm abused

If you ask if I'm okay, I'll say I'm fine

Even though it's a lie in my truck, I sit and cry

We just hold the pain deep inside

Hardest part is telling our kids goodbye

We'll see you another time

Baby, please don't cry

Daddy loves you, this isn't goodbye
