Daddy

KB's "Daddy" is a raw, first-person reckoning with a father's absence and the long shadow it casts. The opening lines trace the damage plainly: scars left behind, a lost sense of security, and a heart so guarded that even a partner's trust can't get through. The chorus turns on a repeated "like you did," addressing the father directly as the source of the wound. Midway, the song shifts toward accountability and healing — therapy, the word "abandonment," and the decision to name what hinders him so he can live in peace. Then come the questions that carry the most weight: did his father know about the love he found and lost, about his son, about the day and year and his mother's crying face that won't be erased. The closing movement is not tidy resolution but a deliberate release — he asks whether his father was ever proud, vows his own boys won't feel this pain, and repeats "I forgive you, Daddy" like a door being pushed open. The production stays sparse enough that the words do the work.
