When I'm away, when I can't stay

I know my heart breaks every night that I'm without you

Oh, my dear, I need you to hear

There's a reason for the miles that surround us

One day, I'ma look in your eyes, tell you you were made to shine

Tell you to go out and find, out and find

What makes you come alive

One day, I'ma point to the sky

Tell you you were made to fly

When I'm gone for too long, it's hard to handle

You know I'm tryna be a good example

I'm just tryna be a good example

So when it gets hard to handle

You know I'm tryna be a good example

So you go and find your road

I promise you will know the way, when it's calling to you

And I'll be there, I'll be your cheerleader

I'll believe in you no matter what you choose, yeah

Every time I gotta leave

You gotta know it's killing me

I hope someday you'll see

I hope that you remember

One day, I'ma look in your eyes, Tell you you were made to shine

Tell you to go out and find, out and find

What makes you come alive

One day, I'ma point to the sky

Tell you you were made to fly

When I'm gone for too long, it's hard to handle

You know I'm tryna be a good example

I'm just tryna be a good example

So when it gets hard to handle

You know I'm tryna be a good example

When I'm away, when I can't stay

I know my heart breaks every night that I'm without you
