“The light is still on “

Country, female voice, heartfelt, hold notes, deep, rough, aggressive

Chorus
I’ll love you to no end, my son,
That’s something time can never undo.
But I can’t keep chasing someone
Who keeps pushing me away like you do.
I won’t beg you to love me,
And I won’t let your anger tear me apart.
You’ll always be my baby,
But I’m finally letting go.
Not letting go of loving you…
Just letting go of chasing you.

Verse 2
Two years of reaching, two years of tears,
Wondering what happened to the bond we had for years.
Now when you speak, your words cut so deep,
Like all the love we had is gone.
And your babies are growing,
While I miss their little lives,
There are birthdays and moments I’ll never get back,
And that empty place in my heart continues to turn black.

Bridge
Maybe someday you’ll look back and remember I was learning to be a Mom while I was still a kid myself, 
Maybe you’ll remember the mother I tried to be instead of the mistakes I made. 
Maybe the anger will finally fade.
And if you ever come looking for me,
I’ll still be here, arms open wide.

Final Chorus
I’ll give you your distance,
I’ll love you through the tears
I’ll love you throughout the years..
But I won’t accept your cruel words anymore, 
Just because I’m your mom.
Unconditional love doesn’t mean
I have to let you break my heart.
You can have the distance you asked for,
I won’t chase you anymore.
But if someday you knock on my door,
My arms will still be open like before.

Outro
You’re my son… that will never change.
I’ll love you until my dying day.
I’m just learning how to love you
Without losing myself along the way.
So go live your life,
I’ll live mine too.
And maybe someday, my son…
We’ll find our way back, 
Until then—
I’ll love you…
And I’m letting go.

Verse 1 I was just a girl when you came along, Sixteen years old, learning wrong from right. We grew up together, side by side, I made some mistakes, but I never stopped trying. I wasn’t perfect, Lord knows that’s true, But every breath I took, I took for you. And when I look back on those younger years, I see so much love, not the story I hear. Chorus I’ll love you to no end, my son, That’s something time can never undo. But I can’t keep chasing someone Who keeps pushing me away like you do.
