i'll be there

(álbum: real growth takes time - 2020)

I don't know if you'll remember me
I was more than just a phase when you where three
It wasn't my choice that I had to leave
I hate that when you see me in a photo
I'll be the only person that you don't know
I wonder if they'll give you all the cards
I send on your birthday

When your nose is bloody
And your hands are dirty
But you need someone to hold
And when your heart gets broken
You get caught smoking
I want you to know
That you won't see me
But I'll be there, believe me
You won't see me
But I'll be there, believe me

And you're all dressed up for the first day of school
Your backpack is too big for you
When you smile for the camera, just smile for me
And when you get into trouble for the first time
And you don't know who to call for some good advice
I wish you knew that I was here for whatever you need

When your nose is bloody
And your hands are dirty
But you need someone to hold
And when your heart gets broken
You get caught smoking
I want you to know
That you won't see me
But I'll be there, believe me
You won't see me
But I'll be there, believe me

And when you meet your first boyfriend or girlfriend
I hope that they treat you just like I would
And I wonder what will make laugh till you're on the floor
Listening to a band I've never heard before
When you grow up one day we will meet again
Yeah I hope that we will
'Cause I love you so much it hurts
And for what it's worth I will care for you still

You won't see me
But I'll be there, believe me
You won't see me
But I'll be there, believe me
