It's All I Can Do

I’ve been told don’t bother Don’t waste your time He’s too far gone It’s the end of the line He has a father Who will not come through His time is done His son he will rue He will not waste time On his only son He spent seven months And now he is done So I tell him That I need to choose I have to live with myself Only one will lose Our son will lose If both of us turn Away from him And all he will learn If neither of us Were there for him What does that say? And so I step in I know it looks bad The choices he’s made But I will not give up My love will not fade I need to be there And let him see He has someone It will always be me I will be there for him For all of his days And then perhaps He’ll see through the haze The haze from doing Everything wrong You won’t touch feelings Inhaling a bong That’s what he does Every day Not in front of me I won’t have it that way But it is being done It’s in his eyes He can’t hide the effect He can’t hide the lies Of telling me He’s no longer using You’ve been arrested twice In one year? We are losing The connection we had When you were once young Is what I want back And where you belong Into the arms Of the mother who had The child of her dreams And then he went bad But there’s good in you This I do know I know your heart And all you can do We hold each other You cry in my arms It breaks my heart You cause your own harm But never think That I won’t be there You are all that I am Your pain I will bear If it one day helps To get you through And past this time It’s all I can do
