Hear me out 2

Intro (spoken) Yeah… Same sky, different night. Daddy still here. Just… listen this time. Hook (blended) Hear me out, yeah, yeah, yeah, just hear me out, yeah Talking to the sky, hoping you hear me now, yeah My little darling, if you feel me from afar I been loving you silent, loving you hard Hear me out, out, out—through the stars somehow I ain’t gone, I’m just locked outside right now Verse 1 They call me absent but they never saw the fight Paperwork chains, courtrooms, sleepless nights I screamed your name where nobody could hear Every tear I shed turned into another year I wasn’t running, I was being restrained Whole story twisted, last name stained They framed my love like it was a threat So I learned how to breathe with a knee on my chest I wanted bedtime stories, scraped knees Not legal terms and felonies Wanted first steps, first words Not visitation dreams deferred So if the world say I disappeared Ask why a father gotta beg to be near Hook (blended) Hear me out, yeah, yeah, yeah, just hear me out, yeah Talking to the sky, hoping you hear me now, yeah My little darling, if you hear me somewhere in the stars I been loving you silent, loving you hard Hear me out, out, out—this pain real loud I ain’t gone, I’m just fighting through clouds Verse 2 Every milestone hit me like a ghost Birthday candles I never got close People judging off a single lie Never seen the truth in my eyes They don’t know the nights I prayed you safe Or the times I almost lost my faith They don’t know I turned my anger down So I wouldn’t pass you a broken crown I stayed quiet so you’d never fear I stayed strong so I’d still be here They say time heal, but time just stretch The distance between my arms and your steps If loving you cost me my name I’d pay it twice, I’d do it again
