Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Cardboard box
Picture frame
Coffee mug
Little nameplate with my name
Boss said, "Son
You know it ain't you"
But that parking lot wind
Cut straight through
[Chorus]
How do I walk in
Hold my baby boy
Say, "Daddy's home early"
But it's not for joy
Got a smile to fake
Bills on the stand
Box of diapers, pink slip in my hand
I'm trying to be the rock she leans on
But I'm crumbling like the dirt on my boots, man
[Verse 2]
Stopped two blocks
Practiced my lie
"Things are changing
It'll all be fine"
Saw that swing
Hanging on the tree
Thought of all the things
He'll expect from me
[Chorus]
How do I walk in
Hold my baby boy
Say, "Daddy's home early"
But it's not for joy
Got a smile to fake
Hope running thin
Box of diapers, pink slip tucked in
I'm trying to be the rock she leans on
But I'm shaking like the change in the jar by the sink
[Bridge]
She meets me at the door (hey)
Baby on her hip
Says, "You look tired"
Kisses my cracked lips
I break right there
On that worn-out mat
"I lost it today"
She just whispers, "We still have us… and that"
[Chorus]
So I walk back in
Hold my baby boy
Say, "Daddy's home early"
And I mean it this time
Got a brand‑new fear
But her steady hand
Box of diapers, pink slip in my hand
I'll be the rock she leans on
Even busted, I'll be her broken man
[Outro]
Kitchen light hums
Kids' show on
I hold him close
Till the fear feels small
One deep breath
One more stand
Box of diapers, pink slip in my hand
