Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Five years old, you’re a world away,
Little Freyja, how you’ve grown today.
I picture you in a cotton dress,
Sunlight tangling in your hair’s mess.
But I wasn’t there to tie your bows,
To kiss your cheek when the cold wind blows.

[Chorus]
Oh, Freyja, my heart’s undone,
I’m your father, but I’m not the one
To hold your hand or dry your tears,
Missed five birthdays, missed five years.
Freyja, Freyja, can you feel me near?

[Verse 2]
Do you wonder why I’m not around?
Does my name make a single sound?
I write letters I can’t send,
Prayers to a girl I can’t defend.
Each night I dream of your little laugh,
A memory I never had.

[Prechorus]
I built a swing in my backyard,
But it’s empty—just like my heart.

[Chorus]
Oh, Freyja, my heart’s undone,
I’m your father, but I’m not the one
To hold your hand or dry your tears,
Missed five birthdays, missed five years.
Freyja, Freyja, can you feel me near?

[Bridge]
The court took you, but they can’t take this—
The love I hold, the girl I miss.
Each mile’s a wall, each day’s a fight,
But I’ll love you, Freyja, every night.
