Tu Me Enseñaste

Many times I don't know what to tell you
Many times I don't know how to talk to you so you don't get bored
Many times I feel like I don't give even half of what you give me
When I'm sad, I truly feel

Dad, you saw me, you taught me what a dream is worth
What it costs to keep your head up and your feet on the ground
And on my dark days, it's not so easy to remember
You expected more from me, I know, I read it on your lips

When I sit next to you and stay silent
It's because I'm thinking of saying something that fulfills you
Even if I'm making it up and your bar is higher every time
It's not that you set it, it's that you set it unintentionally

You're a ten every time I complain to you
The father I want to be in a few years
And maybe I'll never achieve it, I have to admit
Too much alcohol, too sad to achieve it

You're my favorite book in my library
The pages are advice, the advice are recipes for my troubles
As impossible as real
Father, this verse serves me if it's worth to you

I will never forget you
Every time I fall, you're behind me
If all I am is what you are
If every time you come, you don't leave

I will never forget you
Life is harder without you
If every day we come closer
It's because you wanted to see who I really am

What am I without you, dad
What are you without me, without David and without mom
You are as big as the sun that rises when waking up, giant
Every advice is important even if it separates a sea
My steps from yours as we walk

I look for stars in the sky
Because you gave me wings to fly
And I'm really on that, dad
Looking for my path

Muting when I speak
And not holding back when I write
Thoughtful, head down, sometimes like a zombie
If you see me suffer, don't cry for me

If you see me, I'm doing well
Taking the train to a better place
If one day I leave, I'll be by your side
Don't hold a grudge

I will never forget you
Every time I fall, you're behind me
If all I am is what you are
If every time you come, you don't leave

I will never forget you
Life is harder without you
If every day we come closer
It's because you wanted to see who I really am
