Baby Girl

Things will never be the same But if I have to, I'll take the blame I want to apologize for what's going on I gotta be calm, but it's a death bomb I know you've been traumatized Mommy and Daddy just couldn't work it out Don't think that we don't care Cause without a doubt We will be there by your side in a heartbeat Just please let me take you for a ride Daddy wants you to have the window seat The days we would take you to the park Before the holidays are trick or treat This shit makes me sad All I have is a question mark Seems like yesterday you were born Time is soaring after I cut the cord You turn one, Marina, you're growing up a ton Learning how to walk, damn I just want to stop the clock Please quit giving me my heart a shock You turn two, Marina, you don't have a clue Man, it's almost like djà vu Makes me cry, you don't know who to turn to But remember, you have many family members To Daddy showing you how a man should be To Mommy showing you how to be a sweet pea With Meemaw and Peepo teaching you How to bounce off the wall, you see Please know we all love you dearly There is no way to show you clearly But if I could do this in a song right now I know it could be done Please don't take this wrong Just know Mommy and Daddy love you all so much It feels like our heart just got cut Cause we couldn't work this out like we wanted to in the end But we won't pretend cause that's not how it should be But just know we care for you so much It just sucks that it has to be done like this But don't think that Mommy is a bad person We've done things in the past that we shouldn't have done But it's almost like a gun shooting me in the head Cause it hurts so much Daddy's been the bad guy sometimes But don't get that twisted up Because I know I can make up for my mistakes And I know that it will be a high stake To prove to you and to Mommy That we can get through this together as a family But just know I can see through your eyes Through your big blue ocean water eyes That you love us both so dearly And everybody else around you can see that as well Don't think that we don't Just know at the end of this song That you've been loved all along And that's all I have to say on this I hope that this lasts for a while In your brain, in your head, in your cranium Because I know I will show you everything in my power And I know Mommy will do the same Cause in our brain we know that we love you And nothing will change that any day I love you Marina I love you With all my heart I love you Daddy
