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.
