I want recognition
For all the things I’ve done
The way I helped and supported you
Been there in your dark times and then some

I want recognition
For the way I held your hand
Told you it would be okay
Told you that I understand

I want recognition
For the person you are today
Could never have existed
If we had never been in place

I want recognition
For the way you’ll treat her now
Because it will be better than with me
And for that I should be proud

I want recognition
For the kindness that I gave
The unconditional love
And all the memories that I save
