You were the quiet one
|
Afraid to sleep alone
|
Heaven knows, I was lonely too
|
Some things in life a man
|
Can't learn to live without
|
One of those things was you
|
|
Who the good guys are
|
Who the bad guys are
|
Isn't always clear
|
In this world of separate houses
|
Someone's always missing someone
|
Day after day
|
And year after year
|
|
Though you and I are distant
|
Don't ever think I didn't want you
|
Or miss you every day
|
No matter where life takes you
|
Know that I'll still be waiting patiently
|
For the day that you've forgiven me
|
My son
|
The One That Got Away
|
|
It's all of the little things
|
That add up to a life
|
'N it's been so hard
|
Being outside looking in
|
You had hundreds of first times
|
I didn't get to see
|
That will never come again
|
|
How do we catch up
|
Is there just too much
|
Stolen history
|
In this world of separate houses
|
I want you to remember
|
That you'll always be
|
Inside of me
|
|
Though you and I are distant
|
Don't ever think I didn't want you
|
Or miss you every day
|
No matter where life takes you
|
Know that I'll still be waiting patiently
|
For the day that you've forgiven me
|
My son
|
The One That Got Away
|
|
You're carryin' an anger
|
That does not belong to you
|
'N I'm sick and tired of doin' time
|
For a crime I didn't do
|
|
I miss you every day
|
No matter where life takes you
|
Know that I'll still be waiting patiently
|
'Cause I do believe in you and me
|
And I trust that someday
|
You'll no longer be
