Eyes of a little child
with the smile I live for
full of light, right and why
we endure the cycle
Another goodbye
I emphasize how much I love you
every time, i know you know I do
I see one side of a life
behind the glass of the door you close
the in between is watching you walking
while I struggle with too much pride
the Tiny strides are getting bigger
with every trip we make
between a life with mine
and the life with Hers
towards the other world
My headlights add to the tragic scene
We do this over, and over, and over
week after week after week
Owning the rights to my everything
Showing again why we breathe
why I try, but do I couldn't I do better
Goodbyes that preside over our shared tomorrows
This did not play out like believed
entitled, promised, guaranteed
My life is so much better
Your smile warms the ice inside
but each goodbye brings me back below
And the drive back gives me time
That smile from you is the fulcrum
balancing the unbalanced
Two lives, one little boy
One  child,
so vital to us both
