Hands Too Small

Verse 1

Five AM alarm again

Boots by the door scuffed and thin

Kissed her forehead in the dark

Drove a truck that wouldn't start

Pre-Chorus

And I know they see me trying

But trying don't fill up the fridge

Chorus

Empty pockets full of dreams

A father's love ain't what it seems

When the bills pile to the ceiling

And I can't give them what they're needing

Empty pockets heavy heart

Falling short right from the start

Verse 2

Birthday cake from the discount rack

She smiled and said she didn't want it back

But I saw her eyes flicker low

Things a good dad ought to know

Pre-Chorus

And I swear I'd move a mountain

But I can't move this broken man

Chorus

Empty pockets full of dreams

A father's love ain't what it seems

When the bills pile to the ceiling

And I can't give them what they're needing

Empty pockets heavy heart

Falling short right from the start

Bridge

Maybe worth ain't in the wallet

Maybe love is all I got

But love don't pay the power bill

And love don't make the cold feel hot

Chorus

Empty pockets full of dreams

A father's love ain't what it seems

When the bills pile to the ceiling

And I can't give them what they're needing

Empty pockets heavy heart

I'm still falling right from the start

Outro

Mm

Still trying

Mm

Still trying
