I wrote this record lovingly in her name We grew to understand the challenges that came I respected why she left and knew she had to grow When she came back I thought by now she'd know I can promise you I thought I'd only write for you I can promise you I never thought pain would come from you A disappointment is all it's been to me
A hand I've held so long is slipping out of reach Oh, there's nothing wrong with the choice that you've made But with all the respect I gave I thought you'd think before you say
