Not My Fight, Not My War (Rap)

Held her hand in the cold grey dawn

Saw her smile and cry as she was born

Tiny cries

Tiny hands so small

Thought I had it all, then nothing at all

Not my tears anymore let them fall on her floor

Not my fight, not my war, won’t do this anymore

Built a wall with my pain left the key on her stand

It's goodbye, its refrain, I'll never get to see her again

Truth slipped in like a thief in the night

Wasn't my lullaby so i turned out the light

Framed photos now cracked in my mind

Not my blood not my name not my kind

Not my tears anymore let them fall on her floor

Not my fight, not my war, won’t do this anymore

Built a wall with my pain left the key on her stand

It's goodbye, its refrain, I'll never get to see her again

Life’s a lesson carved out of stone

Sometimes you’re meant to just lose it all

I’ll wear the scars from my daughter like steel

Who knew heartbreak could teach you to heal

She still haunts me in the dark of my dreams

Her mother's lies ripped me at the seams

But I’ve built a fire from her cold grey ash

I burned yesterday just to light my new path

Not my tears anymore let them fall on her floor

Not my fight, not my war, won’t do this anymore

Built a wall with my pain left the key on her stand

It's goodbye, its refrain, I'll never get to see her again
