It Tears At My Heart

I'm tierd of things disapearing
It tears at my heart to see one more
piece of my life leave the house.
One by one, they slowly leave its
hard to believe.

I said take what you want it really
doesn't matter, just leave behind what's
important to me, just leave the little
ones here, here safe with me.

They are so scared that I will leave them too
they are constantly asking where are you.
I try to reassure them that I will be here
that I will not leave them ever. My son
breaks my heart when he looks at me
and he says, where are you going dad
I need to know, where are you at dad
I'm just checking to see.

I can see the pain in his eyes, the uncertantity he feels.
It tears at my heart to hear him talk this way
I try to let kids be kids, they are so happy as we
run to catch fire-flies. They shouldn't have to
feel this way, the pain they must feel inside
the uncertantity of who will be there for them
day after day.

It tears at my heart to know that I tried
she does understand, how I feel inside.
She knows I tried, it just wasn't to be
she needs her own space to get through the day.

It tears at my heart to hear someone say
where is your wife, where is she today.
I smile and keep it bottled up inside that
I don't know where she can be found
I don't know if she'll be around. I really
don't know, but I keep a smile on my
face and turn around and go.

It tears at my heart, to think what
she has done, not to me but to the
children, the little ones.
