Daddy waited up in the kitchen by himself
I came stumblin' 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"
He just shook his head and said, "Okay, but
--Chorus
You can't stop my love for you
It'll be here that's a given
As long as I am livin' on this earth
One thing is true
You can turn away, forget me
Curse my name, but love won't let me let you go
Son (girl) always know
love is unconditional chorus, go to break on 2nd)
Life is like a circle, slowly turning on itself
And girl it took losing you to finally know how daddy felt
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
--Repeat Chorus
You could turn away, forget me
Curse my name, you can even let me go
But you need to know
My love is unconditional
