[Intro]
Ahem. I know that the things I've done and all that junk
I want to make everything right with you but you won't let me
This one is for you, I hope you realize whats going on
[Verse]
Amber I know you miss your mom, and I know you miss your dad
When I'm gone, I'm tryin' to give you the life that I never had
I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh
I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you wanna cry
'Cause you're scared, I ain't there
I wish you could care
No more cryin', wipe them tears
I'm here so, no more tears
We gon' pull together through it
I cane promise you it
We're all we got in this world, when it spins, when it swirls
I wanna grow up, raise two, boy and a girl
Lookin' puzzled, in a daze, I know it's confusin' you
I tried to make sure that I was never using you
I try to keep you protected from it, but somehow it seems
The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me
All the things growin' up as brat, gave me some memory
I don't want you to see, but you see just as much as he did
We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me
But things have got so bad between us, I don't see us ever bein'
Together ever again, like we used to be when we was teenagers
But then, of course, everything always happens for a reason
I guess it was never meant to be, but it's just something
We have no control over, and that's what destiny is
But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep
Maybe one day we'll wake up and this'll all just be a dream
[Hook]
Now hush, please baby, don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper lip up, little lady, I told ya
I'm here to hold ya through the night
I know I'm not there right now, and we don't know why
We feel how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
But I promise, everything's gon' be alright (Sigh)
[Verse 2]
Now the time goes too far, and we're here where we are
It was the day that I done lost it all, like a lost ball
A 8th grade slut kissed me on the damn cheek and made me look like a cheat
I now feel like a bum—see, I had one job
And that job was to keep the cheaters off me for you
And at the time, every single bad thing I was in
kept gettin' fixed and saved by you
And your love made feel better in a instant
Tryin' to start a piggy bank for you so we could live together
Almost had a whole plan, 'til things messed us up and I lost it
And I know it hurt so bad it broke your whole heart
And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart
Then we was stressin' a lot, so now I'm moved back
Inside a prison that was lonely without you
And you moved back to the depressed state you been in
And that's when I tried to tell you the truth
And now I'm wrapped in a loop
I tried and tried to beg you but then you had to leave me
Then you started knowin' I was never gonna change
And now you understand it
I stayed up till dawn developed a habit
And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it
I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand
'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
Now I'm sittin' in this empty house
Just reminiscin', lookin' at our pictures, it just trips me out
To see how much I haven't grown, it's almost insane
Wow, guess you pretty much are, and now I'm not here
Nobody cares that I'm still here
I like the sound of that, yeah, it's got a ring to it, don't it?
It'll be only for the moment
Then gone
[Hook]
Now hush, please baby, don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper lip up, little lady, I told ya
I'm here to hold ya through the night
I know I'm not there right now, and we don't know why
We feel how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
But I promise, everything's gon' be alright
[Hook 2]
If you wanted me too, then I could be lost memory
I'd give you this world
I'd buy a diamond ring for you, I'd sing for you
I'll do anything for you to be with you
And if you lose that memory and I lost the ring
I'ma fade away for good
I'll go back to the jeweler who sold it to me
And make him sell it to ya, Don't fuck with me (Heh)
