Message To My Daughter Lyrics

Every morning when I wake I ask myself why, why didn't I hold on, why didn't I try, maybe if I had stuck it out we could all still be, could still be a family. And I know this is hard for you to understand, I might be your dad but I'm still not a man, we loved you so much we had to let you go, it was for your own good I hope that you know. Every morning when I wake I feel wrong, your mother she cried when I sang her this song, we were too young what other choice did we have, I just wasn't ready to be your dad.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Ponder the cosmos. You would have known had you stuck it out. Growing up removing fears of doubt. A baby soul to protect. Man your lifes a living wreck. Lame excuse I've ever heard all along. I'd be sick to write the song. Forgive youself. Guilt has been removed by something bigger than all of us. NYF Not your fault.
