Happily Ever After

Is there such thing as happily ever after?
What a mess I have created

Is this mess worth the price I'd pay
to find happily ever after

Already proved I ain't much of a father
Can I just walk away?

Can I live a life
with only seeing half of you play?

Only see you on the weekends
would you still love me the same?

So scared if these feelings
Might be nothing more than pain

Is there such thing as happily ever after?
What a mess I have created

Is this mess worth the price I'd pay
to find happily ever after

Sick of getting kicked in the teeth
even if its to put me my place

Some times I take out my pain
Can't stand to look at your face

All these years of biting my tongue
All these years of holding back

All this time spend wondering
Can I keep this train on the track

Is there such thing as happily ever after?
What a mess I have created

Is this mess worth the price I'd pay
to find happily ever after

I know where you're coming from. But from a different direction. I've thought about leaving it all behind but that would involve leaving the one that I love. I'm a step-father and I've raised her two children to the age of 18 & 21. I thought the day would come when it would just be the two of us but now I don't see that possibility. Without going into detail, I don't ever see just a me and her. But I'll stick it out to the end. That was my vow. Good luck in whatever you choose to do.

very honest emotion...might I suggest, if you can create this mess..I know you can create happily ever after....it's in you...
