You stayed at home
I moved away
Said you didn't have the money
Mama wanted you to stay
As much as I plan
You always plan more
Say you'll be moving out here
In a couple years or so
The first year apart
Was by far the worst
Sick mothers, bad boys
Almost babies, broken hearts
Well meaning behavior
Deaf phone calls
The failure
Of something that once was so strong
Abbey promise me you know
We were never meant to be so far
You've always been a lark of a person
Walking hardwood floors in a silk robe hurting
I'm lying in bed staring out the window
Of your pastel bungalow
Daddies aren't meant to die
While you're still a child
Daddies aren't meant to leave ya
Before they can redeem themselves
Abbey my dear
I know
Abbey my dear you've always been proud
You've always known who you are
I've tried to be more like that
You've been my guiding star
Others may not notice in the little moments
How wonderful you are
But Abbey I see ya and I'm on your side
Even when we are apart
Abbey promise me you know
Promise me you know
We were never meant to be so far
