I'm tired and twisted, barely breathing, buried in the dark
I'm could've been
Don't be concerned, that's just the power of a breaking heart
How good am I hiding it?
I've got some bad intentions, guilty yeah I've been charged
Still standing stable, more than able, 'cause I know who you are
I know the birthdays, anniversaries, all the first days that I missed
And I regret them all
But now I know this
I know that God exists, I held her in my arms
I never knew I was able to ever feel this strong
Take me off your worry list, it'll be better that way
I'm doing fine and Ma, there's nothing we haven't talked about
So take me off your worry list, just throw it away
'Cause she is what my life is about
I might've been gone but I never walked out
I've taken a thousand red-eyes to change your point of view
Of what kind of man would take the trust you break and still follow through
Well he's standing right here
You may not show up
It's the same gate 14 where honestly I'm just sick of calling your bluff
And it's just embarrassing
I nearly threw up
While I'm trying hard to change the things I always screw up
And at the top of my list
This visitation is no relationship
But I've got to make the best of it
'Cause I know
I know that God exists, I held her in my arms
I never knew I was able to ever feel this strong
Take me off your worry list, it'll be better that way
And I'm doing fine, look I've got plenty of friends around
So take me off your worry list, just throw it away
Well it's time to stand up on my own for her
I'm packing it up
And I'm coming
I couldn't wait to finally pick my family up
Everything was quiet, it was covered in snow
But there's something wrong here
Why is there nobody at home?
I'm back in the driver's seat
And I'm heading back home
Yeah back to Texas, but on my own
Take me off your worry list, it'll be better that way
'Cause I'm doing fine, look I've got plenty of friends around, yeah
So take me off your worry list, just throw it away
'Cause it's time to stand up on my own for her
I'm packing it up
And I'm coming today
'Cause this is what your story's about
I might have been gone but I never walked out
I'm packing it up
And I'm coming
'Cause is what your story's about
My pretty little girl, can you figure it out?
If it helps to know so there is no doubt
Listen to the stories
Not everything is glorious
Some hurt, some love, some shout
I fought the world and I lost that bout
But you are what my life is about
I might've been gone but I never walked out
