Holding On, Letting Go

I wake up tired, another long day
Small mistakes turn the words I say
I see the hurt in your little eyes
It breaks my heart, I apologize
I never want to raise my voice
But sometimes anger leaves me no choice
I hold my guilt, it's heavy and true
I'm learning how to be better for you

I can't erase the past
Or the moments that went wrong
But I can change today
And guide your heart to be strong

I lost my calm, I raised my voice
But I'll make it right, I'll choose my choice
I can't undo, what's done is done
But I'll guide my love till we both become strong
Holding on, letting go
Learning every day to show
That love is patient, love can mend
I'll be your safe place till the end

Sometimes I yell, sometimes I cry
I feel the guilt as the tears pass by
I take a breath, I start again
To show you love that never bends
I'll teach you kindness, I'll teach you care
Through my mistakes, I'll always be there
Not every word I say is right
But I'll keep trying, day and night

I can't erase the past
Or the moments that went wrong
But I can change today
And guide your heart to be strong

I lost my calm, I raised my voice
But I'll make it right, I'll choose my choice
I can't undo, what's done is done
But I'll guide my love till we both become strong
Holding on, letting go
Learning every day to show
That love is patient, love can mend
I'll be your safe place till the end

Mistakes don't make me a bad parent
But they remind me to stay aware
I'll teach you how to stand with grace
And hold your own heart with care

I lost my calm, I raised my voice
But I'll make it right, I'll choose my choice
I can't undo, what's done is done
But I'll guide my love till we both become strong
Holding on, letting go
Learning every day to show
That love is patient, love can mend
I'll be your safe place till the end

I hold you close, I let you grow
Through every storm, through highs and lows
I'm not perfect, but my heart will know
Love is stronger when we hold on, let go
