The Things I Never Had Lyrics

I grew up chasing shadows in the night

A world too cold to show me the light

Dreams were whispers I couldn't quite hold

The walls too high, the nights too cold

But now I see in your little hands

A chance to rewrite where I couldn't stand

The things I never had, I'll give them to you

The love I craved, the skies so blue

I'll break the chains, rewrite the past

Build you a future where love will last

The things I never had, they'll live through you

A life of wonder, a dream come true

Your laughter paints colors I've never known

A world where love has finally grown

Each step you take, a brighter day

Breaking cycles in a brand-new way

What I couldn't reach, you'll rise above

Guided by a mother's boundless love

The things I never had, I'll give them to you

The love I craved, the skies so blue

I'll break the chains, rewrite the past

Build you a future where love will last

The things I never had, they'll live through you

A life of wonder, a dream come true

I'll teach you strength when the world feels tough

Show you that kindness is always enough

Every hug, every word, a promise I keep

To give you the joy I buried deep

One day you'll ask why I gave so much

Why every tear turns to gold in your touch

And I'll say, "My child, you're the dream I found

In a life where love now knows no bounds"

The things I never had, I'll give them to you

The love I craved, the skies so blue

I'll break the chains, rewrite the past

Build you a future where love will last

The things I never had, they'll live through you

A life of wonder, a dream come true

You're the light I wished for in the dark

The song that heals my every scar

The things I never had, they're in your smile

A love so endless, it makes life worthwhile
