for my little princess...

[sarcasticlilme]

well i want you to notice
to notice when i'm not around
i know that your eyes see right through me
and speak to me without a sound
i want to hold you
and protect you from all of the things i've already endured
and i want to show you
show you all the things that this life has in store for you
and i'll always love you
the way that a mother should love her daughter
When I walked out this morning
I cried as I walked to the door
I cried about how long I'd be away for
I cried about leaving you all alone
i want to hold you
and protect you from all of the things i've already endured
and i want to show you
show you all the things that this life has in store for you
and i'll always love you
the way that a mother should love her daughter

So I wanted to say this
Cuz I wouldn't know where to begin
To explain to you what I have been through
To explain to you where i have been
and i want to hold you
and protect you from all of the things i've already endured
and i want to show you
show you all the things that this life has in store for you
and i'll always love you
the way that a mother should love her daughter
