I moved the glass to my lips took a sip inside
where does it feel like our lives on a slip and slide
kids they act stressed work ain't working the best
but that ain't the explanation why this love is a mess
I guess priorities are prioritized over time
then the only moments we spend are sleeping side by side
morning breaks same old nags complaints
I'm just trying to drink my coffee if we engage then we'll be late
I push it down to avoid a situation but all
it does is come out in the public places
can't be as open when they recognize our faces
if they think it's heated I guess that's an
understatement but it used to be alive be
electric burning bright there's a spark left
in the embers find some gasoline tonight
shut the world down put the past behind
feed the mountain got so far to climb is all that's left of you and I
regrets I'm not saying it's all in my
head but I can't help thinking what's
next when tomorrow is all we got left
confessing regrets why's the distance
when we're right here is the anger just
proof we care but loving was not fair
confessing regrets you don't understand
that daddy's coming home every time I
leave the house you think I'm forever
gone guess it's from the hundred call
goodnight's on the telephone see this tour I've
gotta get it done but why though always said I'd
pause work as soon as you came with that structure
I just slipped into depression again this is just
one of the things that I could never explain each
and every day rolling the dice forever caught in
the game still up rooting you both until the
sickness started missed appointments ripped apart
aim to be the best dad here but missed the mark
breaking both you and your sister's heart and
your mother's too I see the wood for the trees
because there's no other truth I gotta stop
putting work so far in front of you
because there is so much more love that a
man can lose trying to get back I've
lost sitting here and all I've got it
regrets I'm not saying it's all in my
head but I can't help thinking what's
next when tomorrow is all we got left
confessing regrets why's the distance
when we're right here is the anger just
proof we care but loving was not fair
three generations of women in my life
they keep me stood I know that I don't
keep in touch with you mom as much as I
should I know that you got your battles
the same as me DNA and us we feel so
much shame in us what we offer ain't
enough these thoughts get dangerous one
way that the pain can stop hope and pray
that both my little girls they ain't
the same as us missed out on so much I
really need to make it up take you on
a plane and just you know I wish there
was more one-on-one and you didn't share
your son I wish you didn't have to move
away but that sort of thing comes when
your identity shifts from being mom and
imagines having my stage name in front
when you talk to anyone my mind's all in
a rut I'm unsure if it will stop if you
reach out and think that I'm ignoring
you I'm not I'm just lost in my head
wish I could pause the world and then I
talk it out with you and say mom I'm
here again with regrets I'm not saying
it's all in my head but I can't help
thinking what's next when tomorrow is
all we got left confessing regrets why's
the distance when we're right here is
the anger just proof we care the loving was not there
