Daddy waited up in the kitchen by himself
I came stumbling in that night with liquor on my breath
He said ‘son I know you live here but this is still my home
It's my way or the highway' so I said ‘alright, I'm gone'
And before I slammed that door I said ‘I hate you'
He just shook his head and said ‘okay'
But you can't stop my love for you
It'll be here, that's a given, as long as I am living
On this earth one thing is true
You can turn away, forget me
Curse my name but love won't let me let you go
Son, always know my love is unconditional
Life is like a circle, it's slowly turning on itself
And girl it took losing you to finally know how Daddy felt
We stood in this bedroom a year ago today
Hanging on to pride and anger as we threw our love away
And before you slammed that door you said ‘I hate you'
But tonight if only you could hear me say
You can't stop my love for you
It'll be here, that's a given, as long as I am living
On this earth one thing is true
You can turn away, forget me
Curse my name but love won't let me let you go
Girl, always know my love is unconditional
You can turn away, forget me
Curse my name and you can even let me go
But you need to know my love is unconditional
