Daddy, Do You See Me Now?

I wipe the counters, fold the clothes, rock the baby all alone

The sun comes up, and he’s out the door, workin’ hard to build our home

But sometimes I just wanna cry, while the baby takes her nap

’Cause love feels far when the hours drag by, and I can’t get him back

My father-in-law calls just to pick a fight

Like I ain’t doin’ nothin’ with my life

Talkin’ ‘bout jobs and the way things used to be

He don’t see what this home takes outta me

🎶 Daddy, do you see me now?

I’m holdin’ strong but breakin’ down

Tryna raise a girl in a world gone cold

And carry love like a heavy load

I made some choices, and I stand tall

But I still need you through it all

Even if you don’t understand me somehow…

Daddy, do you see me now? 🎶

Her daddy’s locked up, I ain’t proud to say

But I won’t let her grow up feelin’ that way

I kiss her cheek, wipe her tears when she cries

And tell her one day she’ll spread her wings and fly

This life ain’t picture-perfect, but it’s mine

I give it all, every hour, every dime

They call me “just a mom” like it don’t mean a thing

But I’m the reason this house still sings

🎶 Daddy, do you see me now?

Through the doubts and the raised eyebrows

I’m buildin’ something you never had

A home full of love, though times get bad

I made my choices, and I’ll take the fall

But I still need your voice to catch my call

Even if you never said it out loud…

Daddy, do you see me now? 🎶
