Bringing up baby is sometimes as hard for a man as it is for his partner. The frustration of having to do things every single damn day can get on top of anyone.


Holding you in my arms we thank the nurse
First time in your new home
Passing by your room to see you breathe
Life's no longer our own

But I can't go on
Nothing's wrong

Walking to the park with you on my shoulders
Family man taking time
Proudly helping you to climb the slide
Standing, waiting to see your smile

But I can't go on
Nothing's wrong

School day ends and you come out to me
Arms outstretched and running hard
I watch you make your way while passing time
With other parents in the yard

But I can't go on
Nothing's wrong

Like you never made mistakes
Like you never felt pain
Like you never had to work late
(And feel sorry again)
Like you never had to try
To conceal your hurt
Like you never...

At the end of a phone that's all you are
Spirit once close to me
We were your weapons and you used us well
Breaking us both to be free

But I can't go on
No, nothing's wrong
