Learning The Hard Way

Daddy and I prayed for you
Promising to, providing it all
Making your life the best
Than we ever knew

Daddy and I didn't know
Your life would be a mess
Without us being there for you

Little did we know
How hard it would be
For you on your own
Without all the best

We never stopped to think
We were hurting you
When we were gone
And you had to carry on
Learning to do all these things
on your own

Giving you it all
Proved not to be
The best after all

You had to learn the hard way
Doing it all for yourself
All the things we thought was best

Daddy and I didn't know
We were making it so hard for you.
By giving you the best
Really put you to the test

You've done it all
Now you are the best
