Single Mom
i try not to think about it
i try to imagine there being no you
i act like i'm all that i need
then she kicks me out of the blue
a part of you is with me even though i deny it in my heart
and i sit n wonder what went wrong and why we are apart
u say if you get married its gonna be with me
you say you'll always be around
but when i need you you're nowhere to be...
she wakes me up at night sometimes
and i wanna roll over and show you
but you chose not to be there
and lord knows i can't control you...
my heart is strong and my values are right
and though it gets so lonely at night,
our daughter will show us what we once had
and you can't erase being a dad.
