Persistent -

We both dreamed a white fence

Would wrap our front yard

How my arms have held you all these years

Now I wake in the morning

And roll to find you

Damn you, sunshine and the shadows you make

If you don’t love me anymore

If you don’t love, you don’t love me anymore

I’m gonna go out knowing I tried.

Persistent

If you don’t want me anymore

If you don’t want, you don’t want me anymore

Persistent so I know I tried

I did my best now I must survive and keep

Pushing on

I had a daughter as tall as I am

In my sleep I see the craziest things

Over her shoulder I saw you smiling

Now I don’t want to wake up and it fades

When I’d swim in the ocean

I’d miss your skin

So fair the summer would burn it

When I’d hike up a mountain

I’d miss your smile

You’d love the view from the top of it

I would be reminded every day

I would be reminded every day of my shame
