Lyrics

She was left at the door, feeling alone and so unsure, Screaming, “Please don’t go, how will I grow up on my own?” She just held on close, gripping me as I just froze, Hoping the tears don’t come, although he just left everyone. I’m sure that he won’t find no better than this family knit, with love, together. Let me tell you sir, Thank you for the way that you raised my girl. She’s so strong and unafraid. I won’t tell her but I wish that you would have stayed, To see her smile some more, to see the girl I can’t ignore. But I’ve picked up where you left off. She let go after that. Sadly, things seemed way off track. But then love showed up, turned on the light, and filled her cup. She looked out at the rest, realizing she has so much left. She don’t need his mistakes to constantly cause her heart to break. I’m not sure why he left us wondering but I got something I should tell him. Let me tell you sir, Thank you for the way that you raised my girl. She’s strong and unafraid. I won’t tell her but I wish that you would have stayed, To see her smile some more, to see the girl I can’t ignore. But I’ve picked up where you left off. You’ve changed things up for us, Made things a bit more tough. But it won’t be enough to untie our hearts. I guess you’re on your own, Just know that she’s not alone. Let me tell you sir, Thank you for the way that you raised my girl. She’s so strong and unafraid. I won’t tell her but I wish that you would have stayed, To see her smile some more, Hell, to see her cry some more, Just to see the girl my heart adores. But I’ve picked up where you left off.
