as a child i never understood why you would want to leave
i always wondered if its something i did
or something i said, do i just need to be more obedient?
maybe i need to read a lot
so much of this going through my head
i just want to understand, i just need to know


do you love me less? is that why you have to go?
if i promise to always clean my room would you stay ?
maybe i need to promise to stop cursing
maybe i need to stop missing up the letter "b" and "p"
so much of all the questions running through my mind

But now i understand it was never about me or you
it has always been above me or you
but i still hope and pray that when its time for you to leave
that i can be strong enough to let you go
