This one was written with my dad in mind, who hasn't been in my life a lot, although I'd like him to be.
Lyrics
i have your smile
that’s what they say
i used to write to you
almost everyday
you picked up your guitar
and you fiddled with the strings
you’d always speak of
amazing wonderful things
somewhere i lost you
when i realized you lost me
was it intentional or
did you leave unwillingly
if you could see me
what would you say
would you be proud of me
am i your fire or am i
the smoldering ashes
beneath your flame
tell me now
would you be proud of me
i cried that night with
rain on the windowsill
you never saw me cuz
you had better time to kill
I’ll never know if you
always tried your best
maybe it’s better now
you never saw the rest
i say this truly with no
fear or strife
all i ever wanted
was a man like you in my life
if you could see me
what would you say
would you be proud of me
am i your fire or am i
the smoldering ashes
beneath your flame
tell me now
would you be proud of me
