Let's Just Say
The Ties that Bind
Let's just say
You pronounced me OK
I fit in the slot
Rather than not
--------------------------
Let's just say
As a daughter may
I longed for your attention
Tried and failed, I learned pretension
----------------------------------
Let's just say
I learned how to pray
Would my hope be fair
A bargain for you to care
---------------------------------
Let's just say
You're young, not gray
Thy will be done
More like your son?
--------------------------------------
Let's just say
I stopped this play
Twisting, turning, throw a kiss
No, not enough, what did I miss
-------------------------------------
Let's just say
As I looked away
Maybe my face
Not enough grace
---------------------------------------
Let's just say
You held at bay
Love for me
Not meant to be
-----------------------------------------
Let's just say
On that day
The day that dad left earth
Broke the tie, bound by birth
-------------------------------------------
Let's just say
I'll make my way
Tripping, falling, wanting for more
No one's child, still trying to score
---------------------------------------------
Let's just say
We play it your way
Denying, pretending, everything's fine
No, never, no, don't cross that line
----------------------------------------------
Let's just say
I seize the day
If choice an option, mine would be
You, my mother, wanting me
-----------------------------------------------
