Ive been reminiscing With one on the way Unpacking the moments From back in the day Something you said, To something I'd done Something so small But I'm still holding on And I'm not gonna carry the weight Of something that you said Let it fill up my mind, As I lay into bed I know you tried Been too many years Time to put it to rest As I finally see, You were doing your best But you were a child Just raising a child Took what you could From your parents mistakes Picked out the good And threw the bad away A child Just raising a child Watchin' me grow up While you did the same All that I know is that We have both changed Though I took my time, Now I'm on your side. Everything's different Now I've got my own Building a life now (yeah) I'm makin' a home Feel like I see you, All of those years You were so tired So many tears And it wasn't perfect the life That we had for ourselves Not much in the bank But love on the shelves I know you tried Paving the way With none of the tools Playing the game Not knowing the rules But you were a child Raising a child Took what you could From your parents mistakes Picked out the good And threw the bad away A child Just raising a child Watchin' me grow up While you did the same All that I know is that We have both changed Though I took my time, Now I'm on your side Took my time Took my time But I'm on your side On your side You took your time Took your time But you're on my side On my side You were a child Just raising a child Took what you could From your parents mistakes Picked out the good And threw the bad away A child Just raising a child Watchin' me grow up While you did the same All that I know is that We have both changed Though I took my time, Now I'm on your side
