(v1)
I've always had the time and opportunity to face my regrets
But I'm so lost and terrified that I haven't managed to deal with them yet
I know if you were around like you used to be when I was still playing with dolls
I wouldn't be crying my heart out while I'm trapped within these walls
(chorus)
I can't smile and mean it without you smiling back at me
and through all this pain of sitting through the rain my tears fall so easily
I'm trying so hard to forgive myself for being scared to see you weak
You know I wouldn't be afraid of falling apart if you could still rock me to sleep
(v2)
Though I miss you like crazy, I'm still your baby and I will always carry that name
With your hand on my shoulder I keep growing older but the troubles remain the same
And with this deadbeat father, why should I bother to break myself down
When you would tear him apart, try to fix his heart, and tell him not to sit around
(chorus)
(bridge)
Wish that I
could try
to be strong
but it's just
so hard
to carry on
without you
