That my heart can’t stand, so I went back in
All my body wants to do is sleep straight through
But you can’t give up yet
The kids deserve your best and your wife does too
She chose you
And that aint no small thing, she still wears your ring
You’ve got work to do
Today I held my breath, let the tears fall to my chest
When I thought of you, like I always do
But then I filled my lungs, thought of good times when we were young
When we laughed but held our tongues
A little smile broke through
I saw my kid smile too
I didn’t know he was there, blue eyes and wild hair
So young but so aware, I’ve got work to do
