Where Were You Dad

[Verse 1] A six-string hum under the moon's glare Your shadow lingers but you're not there Echoes of silence fill the air Where were you when I needed care [Chorus] Where were you dad Where did you go Left me with questions I’ll never know How to love How to teach love You vanished like a star above [Verse 2] Your voice A ghost in the empty hall Felt your absence like a weight too tall The mirror shows your face in mine But your lessons? Lost in time [Prechorus] I learned to stand on broken knees Love’s a language you never taught me [Chorus] Where were you dad Where did you go Left me with questions I’ll never know How to love How to teach love You vanished like a star above [Bridge] Did you run from the storms you made Or get lost in the debts you paid Your silence was the loudest sound It’s in the cracks where I am found
