Intro: verse 1 I do most everything wrong Even on the day you were born My husband's been lying and cheating And I turn my cheek and reason I change my tune everyday verse 2 There is one thing I want you to be That is smarter than me If things they don't seem right Open your wings and take flight Don't stick around to watch the pieces fall verse 3 I don't want you to feel alone But you probably will when you are older I will try to stay alive To see as much through your eyes But one day you know I will go verse 4 Don't listen too much to what I say Making sense has never been my way I can teach you 1-2-3 I can dance with you on repeat I can hold your hand forever Na na na na na na I can do so much, but you can do so much more Verse 5 I am only a stepping stone For you to get where you must go And there is nothing I would rather be So put your weight on me Na na na na na na na oh Verse 6 I am your protector I am not your pretender I will try I will not lie I will not cry too much in front of you Verse 7 I have been really, really sad Except for having you with your dad
