How It Feels

Like watching your kids grow Before your very eyes Every moment's a new hello And a new goodbye Like remembering the past With memories That make you smile Only to forget them After just a little while Like a friend that's gone away Makes your heart Feel like it's s torn Like having someone leave you Before your even born That's how it feels to love That's how it feels to love Like a family you belong to The same blood is in your veins But kind of wishing that you Had a different name Like being told I need you By someone that you need Like being robbed of blessing Because of your own greed It's like a feeling that defines you something telling you hold on But end up pushing them away Because you held on Way too long Like being home for Christmas But there's an empty chair You can't help feeling like There's meant to be just One more person there That's how it feels to love That's how it feels to love Like saying I forgive you When the damage has been done Like honoring inheritance To a prodigal son Like believing without seeing Faith without reason Hope in something bigger than What I could ever dream of That's how it feels to love That's how it feels to love That's how it feels to love That's how it feels to love It's not a feeling but a choice But that don't mean that You can't feel it Sometimes it rips your Heart right open But sometimes it's What heals you That's how it feels to love That's how it feels to love
