Daddy, Do You See Me Now?

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
🎶 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? 🎶

[Verse 3]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Final Chorus]
🎶 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? 🎶
