Don’t Go

It took a while to call you, but here I am
Ready, so I think, to see this through
Surely you must realize, I’m afraid to face the man
That made me what I am, but not who
Forgiveness is a given
I have learned from your mistakes
But to watch you come and go again
Is more than I can take
Chorus:
Cause I fall, you fall
Forgive, forget, whatever
We’ll just work it out, that’s all I care, I’m here
Promise me just one thing and I’ll show
Don’t go
The baseball that you left me, I broke it in just right
I’m afraid it doesn’t fit my hand no more
But it’s still playing short stop and catching in field flies
On a grandson that you’ve never seen before
Oh by the way, his name is Martin
Asks about you all the time
I try and tell him stories
Even if they’re lies
Chorus:
I fall, you fall
Forgive, forget, whatever
We’ll just work it out, that’s all I care, I’m here
Promise me just one thing and I’ll show
Don’t go
I played this scene a thousand times over in my head
I’ve worn out every angle, every lie
For twenty years I never knew a reason why you left
Ain’t it funny how right now, it’s the last thing on my mind
Chorus:
Cause I fall, you fall
Forgive, forget, whatever
We’ll just work it out, that’s all I care, I’m here
There is just so much I need to know
So don’t go
Don’t go
