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" But he just shook his head, and said ok 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 will 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 Slowing turning on itself And girl it took losing you To finally know how daddy felt But we stood in this bedroom A year ago today Hangin' 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 That 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 will turn away, forget me Curse my name but love won't let me let you go Girl always know My love is unconditional You will turn away, forget me Curse my name, but you can even let me go But you need to know My love is unconditional
