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
