He left a year ago. I still try to figure out why. Yes, we had an argument, but it was stupid, petty, pointless. I can still remember our exact words as if it happened yesterday.
"I thought I could trust you, Cole!"
"You could! You have to understand why I did what I did. I did it to protect you."
"You stripped your powers six months ago. You just decided you needed them back again? For what, Cole?"
"For you! God, Phoebe, can't you understand that I did this to protect you? You! I wasn't thinking of me, I was thinking of you!"
"Jesus Christ, Cole, keep your voice down, you're going to wake Delia up!"
"Fine, if you can't trust me, then this will never work. I'm leaving."
Things haven't changed much
It's all pretty much the same stuff day after day
The only thing that keeps me goin'
Is our baby girl I'm trying to raise
She's my life my morning angel
Always seems to find the rainbow after the rain
Lately she's so busy growin'
I don't even think she knows you've gone away
She may not have noticed, Cole, but I do. I should have believed you. You love me, I know you do. I don't know why I didn't trust you. If I could just have your arms around me one more time, tell you that I love you one more time...God, if I just had one more chance. I would say that I'm sorry.
I watch Delia grow up, wishing that her daddy could be here to see it. There's so much she can do. She can walk, she can sleep at night without me having to get up at 3 in the morning, and she can even say little words, like hello, goodbye, and mama. But you know what her first word was? "Dada." She's just like me. She wants you around. But she doesn't cry every night like I do. She doesn't regret what happened a year ago like I do. I hate to admit it, but she's a lot stronger than I am.
She finally learned to say goodbye
She's sleepin' through the night
She don't wake up cryin'
And she's walkin' on her own
She don't need no one holdin' to her hand
And I hate to admit she's stronger than I am
People ask me where you are all the time. I tell them you're away on business. Only because I think you'll come back eventually. Whether it be tomorrow, next week, next year, or even 50 years from now. I believe that you'll come back. It's hard. But you wouldn't know. You're not here. I need you here, but you're not here. I need you to wipe away the tears. I need you to pick me up when I fall. And keep away the pressure that makes me fall. It's so much easier for Delia. She falls when she takes her first few steps, cries a while, then gets back up. I take a few steps, fall, and stay there, because I don't have the strength to get back up. i don't have a reason to. There's a lot of things she ca teach me, I guess.
She says she loves you. But she goes on like nothing's different. Sometimes she goes around the house, looking for you. But she'll never find you. Because you're not here. She's forgiven you, and so have I. The only thing I have to do is forgive myself.
She ain't crackin' under pressure
First one step and then another she goes along
If she falls and skins her knee
She cries a while and smiles at me and just goes on
So many things that she can teach me
Full of life and so completely innocent
She still says she loves her daddy
Goes on just like nothin' happened
Forgives and forgets
She's growing up, and you're not here to see it. She looks like you, with the brown hair and green eyes. There's a lot in her that reminds me of you. She's strong. just like you. I wish I could be that strong.
She finally learned to say goodbye
She's sleepin' through the night
She don't wake up cryin'
And she's walkin' on her own
She don't need no one holdin' to her hand
And I hate to admit she's stronger than I am
So I'm just waiting for you to come back. So I can explain everything and say I'm sorry.
She's just like her old man
Stronger than I am
