Freedom
How can I do this
Live without your good night kiss
I have held your hand
Watched you grow into a man
Now you tell me you want to live with your dad
Its okay mom don't be sad
I will see you on the weekends
I want to be here with my friends
You tell me as you walk away
How can I what do I say
To make you see how much I still need you
Even if your are a big boy steady and true
I know its your choice to make
But do you know how it makes my heart break
You are my baby my little man
I am your mommy do you understand
I can't just let you go without a fight
I want you to need me to tuck you in tight
Please don't shut me out and push me away
I can't just pretend I don't want you to stay
You push and pull trying to get your freedom
But my tears can't you see them
