So the other night was one of the hardest of my life
We told Karissa I would no longer be daddy's wife

She learned he is moving out and will have a new home
She cried and said she wanted to live with us both until she was grown

All three of us were crying,
And on the inside I know Jeff and Karissa were dying

He was crying so hard he couldn't even talk,
She had a lot of questions I had to answer, and surprisingly acted in shock...

She cried and said she wasn't gonna let go of him, so he couldn't go
That was really ******* me and Jeff too, this I know!

Then he tucked her in bed and she said she'd be mad if he wasn't home in the morning
But he left anyway, didn't listen to her warning

Then I heard some sniffling and thought he was still downstairs
At this point, I knew it didn't have anything to do with the affair

I figured out it was Karissa crying in her bed
So I let her sleep with me and talked to her and rubbed her head

She seems to be taking it a little better now
She knows we both love her and always will; this we vow

I'm gonna try my best to be his friend
And work through everything that we need to mend

It will make things a lot easier for everyone involved
Especially if all of our issues get resolved

I'm gonna try my best to stay his friend
And work through everything we need to mend
