lyrics
Sitting around
And I'm writing these songs
So I can have a way
To remember you
But you don't come around
That often, dear
And this place, no
It don't feel like home
Said it's tough to think
About what you left with me
And every so often
You catch yourself on our street
Looking through the windows
Yeah, you like to watch her eat
Leaving ain't
As easy as you'd think
You've been gone
For coming on three years
You missed out on the first steps
And the first of many words
You didn't want a baby
But you knew just how to leave
I'm not mad
No, I just want you back
You send out
All those birthday cards
But that's not what she needs
No, she needs her mom
And if you come home now
No, I won't ever say a word
Sometimes life
Just keeps piling on
And I'm writing these songs
So I can have a way
To remember you
But you don't come around
That often, dear
And this place, no
It don't feel like home
Said it's tough to think
About what you left with me
And every so often
You catch yourself on our street
Looking through the windows
Yeah, you like to watch her eat
Leaving ain't
As easy as you'd think
You've been gone
For coming on three years
You missed out on the first steps
And the first of many words
You didn't want a baby
But you knew just how to leave
I'm not mad
No, I just want you back
You send out
All those birthday cards
But that's not what she needs
No, she needs her mom
And if you come home now
No, I won't ever say a word
Sometimes life
Just keeps piling on
