Father Lyrics by AllttA

Curio Part II

2023

[Chorus]
There was a time I thought I'd be famous
Before I knew what famous was
There was a time I thought I'd be famous
I thought I'd be famous
There was a time I thought I'd be famous
Before I knew what famous was
There was a time I'd wish everybody knew my name
Before I even knew what my name was
[Verse 1]
I went from a full-time father to a part-time father
To almost no time in no time
Father from afar, feelin' even farthеr than a star
But like a star, I'll always follow where you arе
Lost in an empty nest, there's a force in the emptiness
Fills you with worth, but of course, leaves you sentenceless
Even when you settle out of court
You know divorce is never sentenceless
I want from a stay-at-home dad to a sacronym without a home
I'm fillin' up an old air mattress in any empty flat
Knowin' that at 4 a.m., it's flat again
There's a hole somewhere, and I can't patch it
And I'm askin' myself, "Why don't I pray to God?"
Where is Jesus? And could He patch me in?
And I told Him I'm afraid of the sadness I made
And I beg for my son that it's not passed to him
[Chorus]
There was a time I thought I'd found true love
Before I knew what was true with love
I thought I'd found true love
I thought I'd found true
There was a time I thought I'd found true love
Before I knew what was true with love
Time and time again, all I thought I knew
Would come to remind me it ain't true at all
[Post-Chorus]
Father from afar, feeling even farther than a star
Though like a star, I'll always follow where you are
[Verse 2]
How can I pastor him when I'm so low on faith?
Havin' to face time, so you won't know my face
Harder to face time when there's just so much space
Between you and I, well, you will know my place
I got a five-hour train, swallowin' my pain
Shakin' hands with the other man I wanna blame
All I ever wanted was to be a father
And I didn't even know it until I said your name
Toys around the bath, echos of your laugh
Every vacation, everything is in its place
I am your father, I am half of what you made of
Even if right now I can't get half of our days
No, it's quality, not quantity
For love is not commodity
A daddy is an honor, not a paystub
And though I hate what has happened
Let not hate be a distraction
For the fact that you were made in love
Let's go
[Chorus]
There was a time I thought I'd be famous
Before I knew what famous was
There was a time I'd wish everybody knew my name
Before I even knew what my name was
There was a time I thought I'd found true love
Before I knew what was true with love
Time and time again, all I thought I knew
Would come to remind me it ain't true at all
[Post-Chorus]
Father from afar, feeling even farther than a star
Though like a star, I'll always follow where you are
