My Song - YOU'RE NOT A MISTAKE

Requested by Nigel Song Lyrics I hadn't worked in months, I was ducking calls from everyone Sitting on the couch pretending that I'm fine but I was done Couldn't look her in the eyes cause she was holding us together And I was just, there, like furniture, like whatever That night we were home, she got real quiet out of nowhere Went upstairs and I followed cause I felt it in the air She walked into the bathroom, closed the door, I'm in the kitchen Standing by the counter, heart is pounding, something's different Then the door opened slow, she wouldn't look at me at first Came out with her eyes down low like she was carrying a curse Hands were shaking, held the test against her chest then let me see it Two pink lines and I swear the room just stopped, I couldn't breathe it She's waiting for me to say something, anything at all But I'm just standing there, my back against the kitchen wall And the first thing in my head, and I hate that this is true Was, "I can't even feed myself, what am I gonna do with you?" You're not a mistake, you're the reason I got up You took a broken man and somehow that was enough I look at you and every wrong thing fades to grey You're not a mistake You're everything I couldn't say Nine months watching her get bigger while I'm getting smaller Can't find work, can't provide, feeling like I'm getting hollower She'd say, "Don't stress, we'll figure it out," but I could see her face She was scared too, she just didn't wanna say it to my face I'm up at 3 AM just typing "how to be a good dad" Reading stories from some strangers cause I never really had A blueprint, a example, someone showing me the way So I'm learning off a phone screen what my father never gave Then the day hit, we drove there, I remember gripping the wheel She grabbed my arm and said, "We're gonna be okay, for real" But then they said there's something wrong and everything went still Doctors talking, she's crying, and I'm trying not to spill I sat on that cold floor in the hallway by myself Talking to God for the first time like, "Please, I need your help I know I haven't been the best, I know I wasted time But if you let him make it, I'll spend every day making it right" You're not a mistake, you're the reason I got up You took a broken man and somehow that was enough I look at you and every wrong thing fades to grey You're not a mistake You're everything I couldn't say They told us to get ready, said it's gonna be a fight But you came out breathing harder than they thought you might Every day the doctors look surprised, you keep on pushing through Little man, you're built for this, I wish I was tough as you I'm done being the guy who quits before the race is over I'm done being the one who's always looking back over his shoulder I don't got money, I don't got a title or a plan But I got you, and that's enough to make me try to be a man You're not a mistake, you're the reason I got up You took a broken man and somehow that was enough I look at you and every wrong thing fades to grey You're not a mistake You're the life I was meant to make You're not a mistake You never were They told us to prepare for the worst But you keep proving them wrong Every single day And if you can fight that hard When you're that small Then what's my excuse? I got none So I'm getting up Finally #acousticsongs #music #newsong #popsongs #popmusic #englishsongs #Popsong #Englishsong #Newsongs #Hiphopsongs #hiphopmusic #chillmusic #hiphopmix #tophits
