I'm a child of a love that remained unwoven
Every version of me never realized just how broken
You can get just trying to do the right thing
For your child it ain't sweet but that's the icing
Sacrificing everything down to your last breath
Making sure I'm taken care of even if you don't know what could happen next
Give me all your love I'm selfish when it comes to happiness
As long as I've been alive I feel like I hardly know you
Or the things you've truly done
To allow your son to see another one
A day where I can play pretend nothing is wrong as long as I'm looked after
Growing up I swear I've been craving laughter
In the absence of it from your happy never after
Little did I know I was helping decipher our next chapters
Not from the rafters, but front and center
Robbed  your attempts to find the love of your life
Thinking it was me because it's all I've ever known
Fighting for your life to finally find the home
You feel where you belong and I've seen you belong
Decisions I've made you chose me to lean on
The gravity of the situation was beyond
Anything I could comprehend like we could be gone
From the place I've always known as home
Feel so selfish I made the decision for us to be all alone
And you took me there without hesitation
I often wonder if the destination
I picked for us was the reason for our demonstration
Why we go out of our way to make others happy
I still think about it to this day
When youre older you realize the power of what you say
