A tear, a smile, a laugh, a fight,
They happen to us every night.
You say you love me,
You say it’s true,
Prove it to me,
Can we really be?

A whisper, a shout, a secret, a mess,
Maybe we would be a best if you left.
There’s something tearing us apart,
It’s not coming from the heart.

I don’t want to lose you,
I say I don’t care,
But really I mean it,
I want you there.

Fishing, hunting, seasons of joy,
Are the times we spend together,
When we are all there.
It’s always fair.

I run to my room,
And slam the door shut,
I sit there and cry,
And wonder why.

What is it that I do wrong,
How do I make you mad,
You walk through the door,
And then I’m sad.

This can’t continue on,
Something has to be done,
Our family is falling apart,
You’re breaking my heart.

I don’t want you to go,
I want to play in the snow,
Watch the game on the TV,
And go fishing in the sea.

A tear, a smile, a laugh, a fight,
We seem to make up every night.
