Trials

I like the way she calls me baby

Hair pulled back to show her smile

Coming in late she always says maybe

We should wait a little while

I was hoping maybe one day

We could have ourselves a child

And name him after her great grandfather

Any thing makes her smile

I know

I've seen it before

All the lessons I've learned

All the money I've burned

All the things that I thought were but they weren't

All were trials that added up to her

All these lovers making compromise

Trying to make sacrifice for love

Hoping things will only get better and better but they don't

Only poised to see them fall

I know

I've seen it before

All the lessons I've learned

All the money I've burned

All the things that I thought were but they weren't

All were trials that added up to her

All the lessons I've learned

All the money I've burned

All the things that I thought were but they weren't

She emanates light

Hits I realize

What I do not deserve I do not deny
