How much longer can I do this? How much longer will anyone care? 'Cause I've been spending my whole life waiting For the other shoe to disappear I'm doing my best to keep it together So my daughter never has to worry I just wonder when this will all blow up in my face And I'm sorry that I leave But I promise to, I promise to always come home And this would all be easier If I could just believe in God But I would rather bet that eternity is the love I show my daughter I've been trying to keep it together I even found a new therapist It's not my child's problem to clean up my mess I promise, my darling, I'm doing my best And I'm sorry that I leave But I promise to, I promise to always come home And I'm sorry that I'm broken I promise you I'll be whole again And I'm sorry (I'm doing my best to keep it together) (I'm sorry) I'm sorry (I'm doing my best to keep it together) (I'm sorry) And I'm sorry that I leave But I promise to, I promise to always come home And I'm sorry (I'm doing my best to keep it together) That I leave (so my daughter never has to worry) But I promise to, I promise to (I'm doing my best to keep it together) Always come home (so my daughter never has to worry)
