You can ignore my feelings while rambling on without end but I will still try to listen

You can refuse to consider what I or anyone else wants but I will still ask what you want

No matter how you yell No matter how you argue No matter how you hurt me

I will remember

You're learning You're growing You've got a good heart You will always be my baby boy

And I will never stop loving you

Days turned into years You changed so fast The little boy I knew Has grown into a young man

We may argue and yell We so rarely agree But that will never change how much I love you

I see the best and worst of you Holding you always in my heart No matter how you change I'll always love you, my baby boy

Now you're leaving me Seeking a life you can't have here It breaks my heart to see you go But I know deep down, this is for the best

Thinking of what's best for you Even when it doesn't include me Rips out my heart But that's what it means to be a parent

I'll always be there for you I promise that now and forever I know this won't be goodbye Just the start of a new chapter

I hope this journey helps you grow I hope you find what you're looking for Know that I'll be here waiting for you And loving you always, my baby boy

    You can only do your best No one can ask anything more They can't understand what it's like to be you in your life

    Even when they get stained Or battered or broken And it can be hard to think that they'll be like that forever

    But in the end, it's okay You've done the best you can Take another look, and you'll see That they're not ruined at all

    Those aren't defects or blemishes They're part of what makes them special And you will always love them just the way they are
