Echoes

*Echoes of a broken heart,

Torn apart, we drift away!

In the silence, I still scream,

Will you hear me someday?*

The tears continue to run,

So I repeat to myself that I'm done.

These feelings are strong – I know they are wrong,

But I won't walk away from my son!

Clearly, he chose a new life,

Replacing us with his new wife.

I cannot believe he’d just pack up and leave,

The pain cuts through deep like a knife.

I love him without hesitation,

We need help with some mediation.

Please tell my boy that my heart's not a toy,

Let's fix this unhealthy separation.

*Echoes of a broken heart,

Torn apart, we drift away!

In the silence, I still scream,

Will you hear me someday?*

You may be a man, but you're young,

You're still out there trying to have fun.

But soon this new life that you make with your wife

Will change so dramatically, son.

Not saying those changes are bad,

Just different from the life that you had.

You can run without warning - stay out through the morning,

With no answers to give, good or bad.

Is that how you slipped away?

We didn’t have much left to say?

Well, I still want to share in your life - I still care,

I guess I'll just wait for the day.

*Echoes of a broken heart,

Torn apart, we drift away!

In the silence, I still scream,

Will you hear me someday?*

That you finally have kids of your own…

Watch out... Someday they'll be grown!

And I pray you teach your kid better than I did,

That family is all that you own.

You only have one Mom and Dad,

And you’re forgetting all that we had.

You traded us for another, yet we all love each other,

Still right now, we’re feeling quite sad.

*I know there's not much we can do,

But remind you how much we love you.

You will live in our hearts Until we restart,

Let’s return to the lives we all knew!
