Unspoken - Eighteen Lyrics

The days were long but the years they flew Where in the world did eighteen go Tried to teach you everything I knew But you taught me more than you'll ever know Who's gonna go to Lowes with me Come to all of my shows with me I ain't worried 'bout you buddy But your mom she's worried Worried 'bout me

I try to be strong like I taught you to be son I want you to fly but I don't want you to leave son Have mercy on my teardrops They're happy but they sting You'll get it when your son turns eighteen

I know one day you'll probably be On a therapist's coach talkin' 'bout me Didn't mean to hand down my brokenness So send me the bill and I'll write you a check I prayed from your first little heartbeat That I heard with my ear on your mom's belly Ain't getting up from my knees But Imma need you to pray for me now

I try to be strong like I taught you to be son I want you to fly but I don't want you to leave son Have mercy on my teardrops They're happy but they sting You'll get it when your son turns eighteen

I can't believe you're all grown up now Your mom and I are so proud of you I loved all the ages, all the phases They're all my favorite one Can't wait to read the next chapter But this page is hard to turn

I try to be strong like I taught you to be son I want you to fly just don't want you to leave son Have mercy on my teardrops Go out and chase your dreams Just call me when your little boy turns eighteen Those candles blow out faster than you think
