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
