Never afraid to leave
because I know you'll always be here
sad to think that you'll never leave
happy to know I will rely on you
***** to know that I will abuse you
glad to know that I will try my best because of you
my oh my
You've given up nothing, because you gave it all to me
I'm carrying on a torch and without, I'm not much
so thank you for giving me so much of your life
thank you for giving me meaning
thanks so much
my oh my
I can never give as much as you did
nor will I try, evil may I be
instead I will live, happily, to bring a better tomorrow
granting you the greatest pleasure of life
to see your torch move and explore the world unseen
my oh my
you were always afraid for me to leave
always know that I will be there
don't be sad that I will leave
be happy that I rely on you for my strength
know that sometimes my decisions will hurt you
let those decisions remind you, that I will try to make the best
This is for my family once I leave for college, again, I will be leaving this as a surprise for them.
