You never stop to think
About the tears I've cried
And how many have dried
Upon my cheek
It tells so many stories
Of pain and no gain
Of all the worries
That leave me desperately weak
To the ignorant eye
It would be assumed that I
Am pessimistic
When I ask why
But you don't know
Of the constant sorrow
That makes me cringe
With hopes of a better tomorrow
I try so hard
To be what you want
But so far
I am not good enough
You will never find another
As capable of this love
For the wonderful son
That you have raised
I may be mixed up
In life's twists of fate
But we hold a love so strong
In an eternal state
You may not understand
And there's nothing we can say
That can help you accept us
For you've never loved this way
