lyrics

There was no contact with you from the day I was born.
I had no faith I'd find you and everyday I'd mourn.
I thought you ran away from me, your problems, and her.
Well I was dead wrong because you didn't even know I was yours.

She drove up to that base just to find that you were in a different place.
Made a few dozen calls, was lied straight to her face. So she took a stand and raised me into the man I am today.

It surely wasn't easy, and I know you didn't mean it.
When I first heard your story, and your voice I believed it.

There was no contact with you from the day I was born.
I had no faith I'd find you and everyday I'd mourn.
I thought you ran away from me, your problems, and her.
Well I was dead wrong because you didn't even know I was yours.

I am yours.

I can recall all the tough times that we were put through.
Wrote "A Word For Betrayal" because I thought differently of you.
All the thoughts running through my head wore out.
Both sides of the story came together somehow.

I'm happy to know that you're in a better place.
I'm happy to call you my friend today.
Please stick by me and promise that will never change.
The next eighteen years could be a different story.

There was no contact with you from the day I was born.
I had no faith I'd find you and everyday I'd mourn.
I thought you ran away from me, your problems, and her.
Well I was dead wrong because you didn't even know I was yours.
