Looking out the window at the night
wondering why I'm even trying anymore,
life gets so hard sometimes,
can bring you to your knees in a crash
and fill your heart with nothing but pain.
Wondering why I don't just give in
to the whispers in my head
and to the pictures in my sleep
but then all I have to do
is see your picture by my bed
and I remember once again.
Life's winding twists and turns
sometimes can make us lose control,
the pressure can make us crack,
demands we feel we have to meet,
it can all get to overwhelming.
Makes you wonder about your sanity
and if your dreams are really worth it,
peoples giving free advice,
they talk so loud about things they don't know,
sometimes you can't tell up from down.
Wondering why I don't just give in
to the whispers in my head
and the fears I face when I'm asleep
but then all I have to do
is see your picture by my bed
and I remember once again.
I remember that you're my everything,
the way your smile lifts my soul,
the tender way you say my name,
the way you always make me laugh
and how you whisper "I love you".
I remember that you're my every reason,
that a love likes yours and mine will last,
when I'm just about to break down
I remember how you say "us",
no more "you" or "me".
Mistakes in our pasts that we can't undo,
still learning to breathe through the pain
that can seem so all consuming,
laying the ghosts down to rest
is a daily choice we all must make.
I remember when the tears start to fall
and I'm thinking I can't stand any more
that you are my rock
that will never let himself be broken
and I smile in spite of the tears.
Wondering why I don't just give in
to the whispers in my head
and the fears I face when I'm asleep
but then all I have to do
is see your picture by my bed
and I remember once again.
All I have to do is remember
how watching you change every day
fills my heart to overflowing with pride,
baby I'm so proud of you,
remembering your smile when I say that's my reason.
I love you more than words ever say,
we've got all the time in the world,
I'm more proud of you every day,
of the man I see in your heart,
take my hand and we'll learn to fly.
