Letting Go
I love you, you said
So we didn't get out of bed
Marry me you said
And it went straight to my head
Funny I thought how the words were true
Silly of me to really love you
A game that you played
And oh, I would have stayed
To hurt and to cry
Only every night
But I didn't know love
Wasn't really supposed to hurt
I didn't know you
And that is more true
But I made a life inside
And lived with it not being so right
And when you told me to leave
You cried in my arms, I begged you please
Don't let me go,
From the only thing i did know
But you made me face the world alone
With a new baby in my arms
And I didn't know why
All the times you would spy
Wanting us from afar
But not giving us your heart
And now I've moved on, yet here you are
I have to say he's my shining star
Where have you been, I no longer care
Of dreams lost and memories shared
I still don't know you, I can laugh in your face
And love the one who has taken your place
So go away, it's been years too late
Who are you to mess with my fate
Who are you to say where is my son
Is he smart, is he funny, is he the one
To make it to the top of every mountain
Every limb, tell me all about him
And I say oh, yes, all of the above
But it wasn't you that showed him all the love
Where were you the nights he cried
From fevers, sick, up all night
When he laughed, when he fell
Learned to count, and broke out of his shell
It was someone that stepped on your plate
Someone who will stay up late
If he needs to talk, can't sleep
Helps with the homework, helps him believe
He is all that he is, and only more
Shows him options, and to open every door
Of life, of love, of hope, of trust
So sit back and watch if you must
But don't say you're sorry, don't say you're wrong
That it should've been you all along
Because I made it happen I make us see
There is no other, no one like him or like me
