​song for my father Lyrics by Delaney Bailey

what we leave behind

2023

[Verse 1]
Maybe it's always been us all along
You are the trees that I grow on
I am the leaves that die in the fall
You'll grow me again but you're
[Refrain]
Tired
You're tired
[Verse 2]
Maybe it's always been us this whole time
You are the moon in the sky and are the tide
I reach for you but never quite high enough
You reach for me but you're
[Refrain]
Tired
You're tired
You're tired (You're tired)
[Verse 3]
Maybe it's always been us all the while
Wherever you go, I'll follow your stride
I rush to you, your arms open wide
Lift me to the sun, at least you
[Refrain]
Tried (You tried, you tried)
Tried alright (You tried, you tried)
[Verse 4]
You are my best friend a while ago (Did you try?)
A child should never feel like a chore
Did it feel like sweeping the floor? (Did you try?)
Taking care of me, did it make you
[Refrain]
Tired? (Tried, you tried, you tried)
Did it make you tired? (I'm tired, I tried)
Yeah
