lyrics

its hard.. where do I start... I got story I wanna share... well.. here it is...

7-30-81's the day that it starts
a mothers first born departs as he's placed in her arms
can barely see barely breathe and he can't even talk
but she knows as he grows he'll leave a memorable mark
years past so fast in the blink of an eye
though she tries he rebels she can't figure out why
so she resorts and is forced in a different way
in an attempt to connect but he pushes away
and she knows that her time has been limited though
but she's afraid how he'll behave cause she don't want him to know
and it shows everyday she grows bitter and weak
and doesn't eat at the point that they don't even speak
as frustration and anger just eat her away
what can she say before that day that'll make it ok
and after years it's all clear I never needed to hear
the fear of leaving her children was just too much to bear

(Melissa Mills)

I don't wanna close my eyes
cause I'm still afraid of the dark
but I don't want to cry
I'm stronger I'm stronger than you'll know

7-30--81's the day that he changed
altered his ways and so proud that he gave him his name
and he vowed to provide and do all that he can
he put that drink down and never ever touched it again
and instead he committed to the role of a dad
and what his sons will become is now all up to him
but then it seemed that his dream was to complicate quick
his wife is sick and they split be he can't come to admit
and he tries to be strong keep that family bond
but as this road takes its toll he notices somethings wrong
but he ignores cause he's forced towards the needs of his kids
multiple shifts never quits it's that life that he lives
and this mistake that he makes seems so harmless at first
till the words it's too late echo the sounds of remorse
cause inside was that pride to put his own health aside
all to try and provide and it cost him his life

(Melissa Mills)

I don't wanna close my eyes
cause I'm still afraid of the dark
but I don't want to cry
I'm stronger I'm stronger than you'll know

7-30-81's the birth of the fam
and from a boy to a man I'll explain if I can
it began in a house so quiet and quaint
which would make me create such a picture to paint
there were nights in my life I'd been awoken by fights
there were knifes then the sights of blue flickering lights
and of course the divorce kids caught in these wars
explain to your son so young that he isn't the cause
and be torn in between such a powerful scene
what was once such a love between two human beings
as a hate that creates a child's innocence waits
for a fate in which slowly deteriorates
and I knew to expect for all that was left
they had gave us their best till their very last breath
and they had loved to the death though they had to accept
they both passed with regrets they could never correct

(Melissa Mills)

I don't wanna close my eyes
cause I'm still afraid of the dark
but I don't want to cry
I'm stronger I'm stronger than you'll know

yea.. I'm stronger than you'll know...I'm stronger than you'll ever know..
I'm stronger than you'll ever know.. I'm stronger than you'll..than you'll know...
