Let's Pretend I'M Ready,I'M Not

My son you'll wake up an adult tomorrow, And I"ll try my hardest to play pretend That I'm as Happy and excited as you are yourself But i know its the beginning of the end. Not for you your life's just at the start But it's the end of the world as I can see Coz it means that you're going to start making a life of your own And you'll no longer have need for me. I knew this day was coming from the day you were born, That I only had you and your sister on loan, But she's gone and left and you'll soon do the same And I don't want a life on my own. But you'll never know any of this, Makeup, a fake smile and a show, I'll laugh and play happy mam all day Because it's not anything you need to know How do you cope when your kids are your world And you have to watch as your world moves away How do you cope with the empty black feelings When you're only reason for livings gone away 29-11-2022
