"I'm proud of you
Have I ever told you that?"
My thoughts say once
My eyes stare back
You break down
I've seen you do it
So many times
Its truly sad
I lend my hand
You give it a squeeze
I know you
All too well
You stop, suck it up
Your eyes are red and puffy
Put the car in gear
As we drive home
I'm in a state of haze
I usually am around you
No emotion, just eyes wandering
Out the window, in the sky
'I'm proud of you.'
It's right there
Replaying in my head
Over and over again
I'll only hear it one last time
The day I graduate
That'll be it
Then we'll be separated
Mother daughter time
Disappeared long ago
And you're trying desperately
To take it back
I'll go along
Let you be happy
For those few moments
We have together
So I
Can see
You smile
For once
