Intentions weren't to smother
Though actions disagree
And sometimes I lay and ponder
What it is you want from me
Your life exceeds your presence
Your sense of wonder leads to truth
Years that wave as they pass by
Undenying to your youth
Your smile's undefeated
within the public eye
But your laughter doesn't faze me
I feel it when you cry
In times of great confusion
I don't know what it's worth
But I recognize your being
More than footsteps on this Earth
The softness to your voice
As it trembles on the phone
Pleads the question for you
You need me to come home
And although it hurts to be with you
It hurts me more to leave
I've seemed to miss the breakthrough
And i don't know when to grieve
So I'll gently kiss your forehead
And listen as you pray
I don't know when to come..
When to go..
And I don't know what to say..
