lyrics

I trudged through the hard times cause I lost the bright days/
I loved through your dark times and still watched our life change/
Words can't explain this kind of pain/ and tears took the strength out/
to busy trying to find the blame/ till my heart just gave out/
and the truth is love is a choice you weren't willing to make/
to selfish to silence the voice that was sealing your mistake/
and what we built together you destroyed and called it revenge/
and what we felt was severed and left void only God could mend/
Dear Zoe its ok to cry… dad understands how you feel/
Just remember how I held you at night/ we found way to heal/
I’ll always cuddle and love you/ always wrestle and hold you/
I will always be here to undo/ all hurt that we have to go through/
I never wanted our family broken/ I never wanted your mom to leave/
I never wanted the words spoken to shattered the hearts on our sleeve/
But life is what it is/ even though it’s killing us inside/
I will give what I can give/ cause everythings going to be alright

I want to go back to a place in my life when everything seemed alright/

Verse 2
I hate these rose colored glasses in hatred I had to break the lens/
I barely had the stregnth with in to never make that mistake again/
She slept with one of my best freinds to get her pillow talk/
Then turn the tables and tell me it was all my fault/
I didn’t even notice/how she left me to nothing at all/
She continued rather than to focus/ on how she left me to fall/
And I watched kids suffer/ while she denied the effects on their heart/
I wondered/ the pressure they were under/ when she tore us apart/
Dear Jayden your daddy’s little girl/ and you hug me like no one else does/
Together we can pretend there’s a world/ where mom and dads are in love/
I will always be here to tuck you in/ I will always be here to comfort you/
I will always be here love you even when/ I can’t always be in front of you/
And I never wanted us torn apart/ I never wanted our family to split up/
I never wanted a broken heart/ and I never wanted our us to give up/
But life is what it is/ and know I loved your mom and really tried/
You’re the sole reason I live /and I am sorry you saw your daddy cry/
