I Dont Want To Fight
I don’t want to fight
Please just do what’s right
This is not the life we expected
But what it is can’t be rejected
It’s about more than you and I
Each mistake we make results in Her cry
This was not Her choice
We never heard Her voice
This unfortunate situation
Has resulted in visitation
Her life revolved around both you and me
Why is this so difficult for you to see?
Hurting me hurts Her too
In the end, the only one losing is you
She may be too young to understand
But, one day She’ll know what it means to be a man
She will know what you have done
And that daddy’s not always “FUN”
She will look back and realize
That daddy did tell lies
She knows right from wrong
You and I both taught her that song
She loves you unconditionally
So let’s please do things peacefully
Think of Her needs before your own
Try your best not to moan and groan
Let Her happiness be your guide
And she will forever be by your side
This is our one and only chance to get it right
Let Her life be our light
My only request; please see the light
I promise you; I don’t want to fight!
For her sake; let’s just get it right!
