Couldn't wait to grow up
But wasn't prepared for the gut punch
Of abandoning my blood
You needed
You needed me so
But I needed to go
Another crushing adjustment
Can't recover from it
And there's so much I could've done
Swallowed by the guilt
Of being gone
Cause I bared our burdens
I braced for our falls
Now I'll watch you
Age from a distance
I'll grieve the tight bond
I had to miss out on
You've become
Better than I could be
You'll always be loved
And if you ever need me
I'll be a place to lay your head
A place to lay your head
A place to lay your head
Always
A place to lay your head
I'm longing
For my time back, again
I could mend the past
I won't lose you to the gap
