lyrics

at the diner, a table away
a father and daughter their phones
in their faces
though i try, i just can't look away,
cause lunch with my old man
can look the same

when i hit a certain age
and couldn't keep up with all the ways
my body changed,
avoiding stares from the boys in my grade
from then on, they all made me afraid
i wanted to tell you about it,
but it felt wrong

as i got older, started speaking my mind
about the world and our views,
which no longer aligned.
you used to be like me,
made money and switched sides,
but you hope that i'm different
i can see it in your eyes.

you've lost faith in the world,
i wanna prove you wrong.

trip to the mountains when i got my degree.
it wasn't the altitude that made it hard to breathe.
i'd never seen you look so scared of me.
begging me to snap out of it
as if it was that easy.

i know me being sick wasn't in the plan
and we're afraid of the things
that we don't understand.
you get upset not because you think
i'm lesser than,
it's 'cause when you felt the same
you had to tough it out and be a man.

but if you don't think i love you,
if you don't think i love you,
you couldn't be more wrong.

you're my favorite person
i need you to know,
when i look in the mirror
your face is what looks back,
i'll always be your daughter
you never have to doubt that
i love you, dad.
