She tastes like coffee and cigarettes
Every day by noon
I speak softly so she can hear
That I won't be gone soon
She sits quiet by the window
Doesn't say a word, I know somethings gone wrong.
I try not to Ignore her
She shuts me out but then she'll say
One day I'm gonna fly alone
But for now I don't I think I should be on my own
We go for walks just to stop the crying
I tell her she'll be fine
She hides in books and naps
In the evening a bottle of wine
Late at night we'll sit outside
And watch the midnight sky
I'll stick around and love her so
She'll never understand why
One day I'm gonna fly alone
But for now I don't I think I should be on my own
This life's for you and me to live ha la la la
There's so much more to give ha la la la
We'll find a brand new start a ha la la la la
But for right now this is where we are a la la la
She understands these things take time
But doesn't know how long she can go
I try to make sure she knows I'm here
I'm not sure that is enough
Someday she'll fly alone
But for now I know she can't be on her own
