I do most everything wrong Even on the day you were born My husband’s been lyin’ and cheatin’ I turned my cheek and reason I change my tune every day
There is one thing I want you to be That is smarter than me If things, they don’t seem right, Open your wings and take flight Don’t stick around to watch the pieces fall
I don’t want you to feel alone But you probably will, when you are older I will try to stay alive To see as much through your eyes But one day you know I will go
Don’t listen too much to what I say Making sense has never been my way I can teach you 1, 2, 3 I can dance with you on repeat I can hold your hand forever Na, na, na… I can do so much, But you can do so much more
I am only a stepping stone For you to get where you must go And there is nowhere I would rather be, So put your weight on me Na, na, na…
I am your protector I am not your pretender I will try I will not lie I will not cry too much in front of you
I have been really, really sad, Except for having you with your dad
