No Other Way

There's no other way, There's no other way, There's No Other Way
(Where's Daddy)
(He's Gone, He's Gone, He's Gone)
(Where's Daddy)
(He's Gone, He's Gone, He's Gone)

There's no other way
I can't help the way things are
I regret being this far
I regret the fact I don't have a car
I can't see your face every day
But this is in the sacrifice I made
So I could see you grow up and graduate
Tried to protect you from the grieving
Then the deceiving and then the hopelessness I feel
But in the strength I have
I am still stood here to stand
Don't feel right now like the best Dad
But I promise things will get better as we advance
I want you to know it was about the facts
Not that I left you for some quick romance
Kelly loves me and I love you
Me and Kelly both love you so much
I know you want to maybe see me all the time
But you have be good and love your mum because that's where you belong
Until the day comes whereby you have your own mind
And make your own choices
I miss you all the time and can't stand it
I just want to see your face
Not just be all about voices
But these I can't change
These are the choices
I'd either stayed there to lose my mind
Or get on two feet and fight
So that's what I done
Like I swore to do the day you was born
Because after all your my son

(Where's Daddy)
(He's Gone, He's Gone, He's Gone)

I promise you this in a year or two
This will all be in the past
It will be all about the future
And seeing you grow up and become a child
Then and teen and a man
I don't expect you to ever understand
But I try my best to make you see
The father I constantly tried to be
The child I wanted to wake up every day and wanted to see
Being able to sleep at night because I know you was in the next room tucked uptight
Read you a bedtime story just like I did in kent
Am trying my best and make up for the time I have left
But I was weak son and I needed strength to build myself back to norm
Help my mind restore
Hasn't been easy
I was on a collision course
But it was worth the transition
To see the world in a different light
To put up the fight
So I could become the best father that I became
It wasn't overnight or a few days
But I wouldn't have wanted it any other way
Now, your Daddy's back and here to stay...
