Never Got The Chance

I keep your ashes close, but I never see you They still cry for you, but I don't And that kills me more than losing you You gave me a home, you gave me a name Paid the bills, kept us safe But love? That wasn't in that mix A handshake, a nod, that's all you gave No bedtime stories, no I love you said Just a man who worked till the day he was dead I see them cry, I see them break But my heart bends, my soul won't shake What is wrong with me, why don't I feel it Shouldn't you have loved me like in the movies I never got the chance to miss you Never felt the pain they do You were there, but were you real Tell me, dad, is this how love should feel I'm calling out, but there's no sound No whisperer, just your ashes still around Now I chase ghosts in the arms of other men Trying to find what I lost back then A hug, a touch, just to feel alive To fix the boy who learned to survive You said, real men don't kiss their sons Now I'm out here searching for love I never won I see them cry, I see them break But my heart bends, my soul won't shake What is wrong with me, why don't I feel it Shouldn't you have loved us like in the movies I never got the chance to miss you Never felt the pain they do You were there, but were you real Tell me, dad, is this how love should feel I'm calling out, but there's no sound No whisperer, just your ashes still around Si te viera otra vez, me reconocerías ¿Era amor o una rutina vacía Solo quiero saber, solo quiero entender ¿Alguna vez me llegaste a querer I never got the chance to miss you But maybe that's my pain, too You were there, but were you real Tell me, dad, is this how love should feel Tell me now and I'll say no But maybe that's my pain, too Still waiting for a dream Still waiting for a sign Just one time To maybe kiss you goodbye
