daddy
why do you always say you're fine
when your eyes look cloudy like a rainy day
you try to smile but your shoulders give you away
tell me what you carry
daddy
i can stay
you don't have to stand so tall
you don't have to hide it all
i'm not a child who runs from every fall
i can hold the quiet with you through it all
so let the rain fall
daddy
let it fall
you don't have to answer every call
you taught me brave
but you never let me see
brave can be a heavy thing to be
so tell me true
don't say nothing's wrong
i'll sit right here till the storm is gone
i've seen your hands shake when the lights are low
seen you turn away so i wouldn't know
you said goodnight like it's just another day
but i can hear the silence miles away
you don't owe the world a stronger face
you don't have to win every place
if your heart is tired
let it rest a while
i love you even when you don't know how to smile
so let the rain fall
daddy
let it fall
you don't have to answer every call
you taught me brave
but you never let me see
brave can be a heavy thing to be
yeah
i'm right here
i won't turn away
you don't have to be okay today
