[Verse 1: Theory Hazit]
His daughter pulling on his sweater
With tears in her eyes like we need you more than ever
Daddy don't go, things'll get better
Written on her face man, we need you more than ever
Please don't leave, we should stay together
At least be strong for me, I need you more than ever
Let God be your sunshine through this rough weather
'Cause you my umbrella and I need you more than ever
Oh, so you regret that you met her?
Well, you had me and I need you more than ever
We got a bond that ties you can't sever
Tearing us apart Pop, we need you more than ever
Divorce you got to admit, man it's not that clever
At a time like this when I need you more than ever
Bail on us now? I'm hoping you would never
Fight the good fight 'cause we need you more than ever
Man, feeling like a cold night even when it's daylight
Wishing we could stay tight
You know this ain't right
Abandoning your role like you had stage fright
Lord knows we need you more than ever
Calls on the weekends, visits in the summer time
Miscommunication, back and forward with you and mom
I ain't ready for that!
I want you to decide and stay by my side
'Cause we need you more than (more than)
[Hook: Donavan Luke]
Don't go, don't go. I need you now more than ever
I need you now [?] weather [?]
You be the one to show me right from wrong, yeah!
Work it out, work it out for me
Let Jesus be the guide and he'll show you how to
Work it out, work it out for me
I still need You to be here
[Verse 2: Theory Hazit]
Daddy looks into her pretty eyes
Her cry out is being minimized
He goes to open up his mouth
To say something but not a word comes out
Rubs her back saying "It'll be alright
You'll forget about it once we get to Chuck E. Cheese tonight
Besides don't you want your mom and me to be
Happy as we can be without us being mean?
Yeah I know, but daddy loves you baby
I'm still around I mean, I'll come to see you daily"
He wipes her face, planted a kiss
If she can read his mind, it goes something like this:
I'm unhappy, I've been faking the whole time
Feeling like I'm stuck cause me and her [made this soul tie?]
Plus we have nothing in common
I wanna feel love again, I'm sick of the drama
Husband? How come I feel less than
That we supposed to be closer than close, best friends
This is too much work but yo
This is what our pastor told us before church ago
Of course the Lord has y'all together for a reason
Not to be happy but to be more like Jesus
As long as we're alive, we going to feel the pressure
And you can't do it alone, y'all need the Lord more than ever
[Hook: Donavan Luke]
Don't go, don't go. I need you now more than ever
I need you now [?] weather [?]
You be the one to show me right from wrong, yeah!
Work it out, work it out for me
Let Jesus be the guide and he'll show you how to
Work it out, work it out for me
I still need You to be here
[Verse 3: Propaganda]
One part of me hates you, the other part of me is jealous
A small part of me thanks you
Your negligence has given me a reason to breathe
I'm a step-father raising a worthless man's daughter
And if you've ever seen her smile, you wouldn't question why I bother
It is my cross to bear
Imma come off the bench dad
JV second-string substitute step-dad
Listen I understand some things just don't work out
Her mom can be a handful, believe me I know
But that's not your daughter's fault
Oh, we got them gifts you brought
But she would trade it all for a half hour of your time
See me and her have bonded now, it's been years
She calls me daddy now
You don't know how long I've yearned to hear words you aren't worthy of
She sees you as a stranger
She is scared of your touch
Yet her lil' brain is so conflicted
Because she misses you and don't know why
It's crazy, sometimes I see my sister's personality in her
I'm so tempted to say she gets her eyes and sense of humor from me
I know that's delusional but I'm so afraid of losing her
Falling into that U-shaped black hole in her six year old soul
And it cuts my tongue to admit it but she needs you more than ever
That's how much I love her
I am willing to admit that she does need you
I believe my little girl
Her very breath is a blessing
From doing her laundry to trying and explain sovereignty
I would love her as my own
Be the father God called me to be, it honestly compels me
My dude she needs you (more than ever)
[Hook: Donavan Luke]
Don't go, don't go. I need you now more than ever
I need you now [?] weather [?]
You be the one to show me right from wrong, yeah!
Work it out, work it out for me
Let Jesus be the guide and he'll show you how to
Work it out, work it out for me
I still need You to be here
