We Nearly Had It All

I'm supposed to hate you
But I don't
You want me to beg you
But I won't
I'm at a loss (I'm at a loss too)
Something we agree on
Is that it? Are we through?
Looks like it, doesn't it?

I'm still here, I ain't given up
I'm still a mother and a wife
But do this happened suddenly?
It just dropped into our life

I can't let anyone down
So, what am I supposed to do?
Don't turn your back on me now
'Cause now's the time I need you

I thought I had the future in the palm of my hand
I thought you were beside me, and our dreams were all planned
Thought we would stay together, now the world's cold and small
Thought we'd grow old and gray together, oh, babe, we nearly had it all

And what about our daughter?
I wanna look at her and see
That her future's full of hope
So she don't end up like me

I'm finding a voice for the first time
I never knew I had before
Well, it started as a whisper
But now, it's got to be a roar

We thought we had the future in the palm of our hands
We thought you were beside us, and we had it all planned
We thought life isn't easy, but we could have stood tall
Instead, we see the moment when we almost had it all

It don't mean I don't love you
It don't mean I don't care
But I'll see this through
With or without you there
