The Man I Know

[Verse 1]
I still talk to you when the night gets quiet
Grew up learning life without your voice beside it
Your empty chair is a ghost in this place
I just wanted one more "son, you're gonna be alright"

[Chorus]
You left this world but you never left me
You're in every scar that the world can't see
I carry your name through the highs and the lows
'Cause wherever I go, you're the man that I know

[Verse 2]
I learned how to smile while my soul was shaking
People see the man, they don't see the breaking
Your lessons became the voice inside my head
Living on the words that were never said

[Bridge]
They say time heals, but they don't understand
Some wounds don't heal, they just learn how to stand

[Outro]
If heaven has a place where the lost ones can stay
I'll meet you there, Dad, someday
