I do most everything wrong
|
Even on the day you were born
|
My husband's been lyin' and cheatin'
|
I turned my cheek and reason
|
I change my tune every day
|
|
There is one thing I want you to be
|
That is smarter than me
|
If things, they don't seem right,
|
Open your wings and take flight
|
Don't stick around the watch the pieces fall
|
|
I don't want you to feel alone
|
But you probably will, when you are older
|
I will try to stay alive
|
To see as much through your eyes
|
But one day you know I will go
|
|
Don't listen too much to what I say
|
Making sense has never been my way
|
I can teach you 1,2,3
|
I can dance with you on repeat
|
I can hold your hand forever
|
Na, na, na...
|
I can do so much,
|
But you can do so much more
|
|
I am only a stepping stone
|
For you to get where you must go
|
And there is nowhere I would rather be,
|
So put your weight on me
|
Na, na, na...
|
|
I am your protector
|
I am not your pretender
|
I will try
|
I will not lie
|
I will not cry too much in front of you
|
|
I have been really, really sad,
|
Except for having you with your dad
|
