What Can I Do?

by Kimberly Day   Mar 24, 2005


I just don't know what to do anymore,
I've thought so much my mind is sore.
I want you here,
You want to be there,
What can I do?
I don't mind you going out every once in a while,
But almost every night hurts me inside.

I don't know why it bothers me so,
I'm only 16 you know.
I'm not a full time babysitter,
I'm not a live in maid,
And being home alone all the time,
Sometimes makes me afraid.
But I keep telling you I'm fine.

Sometimes I care,
Sometimes I don't.
Sometimes I don't think it's fair,
That you always get to go out.
You use my money to go see him,
"Would you mind if I pay you later Kim?"
No of course not,
What else can I do for you?

I don't tell you I don't want you to go,
Although it sometimes hurts,
I just let it all flow.
And I know this won't be the first,
Or the last time,
You leave me behind.
So I say go,
And when it's time for bed,
I pull the covers,
Up over my head.
And people thought teenagers,
Never missed their mothers.
I'm starting to miss,
The way mine used to hover.

But when someones gone all the time,
You'll soon find,
Youself missing them,
Even if sometimes you get your wish,
And then take it back,
When push comes to shove,
You know its them you love.
