Before I have a daughter
I want to build myself a garden
The kind I have to water on the good days
And the bad ones too
And then I'll try college
And realize that it's not for me
And the take away is a heart will break in the time it takes
To make lemonade out of my family tree
And then I'll grow up
Make mistakes
And find a way to find some dumb luck
And then I'll start believing
That life is a merry go round holding me down
Until I started to see that
This ride was only building me up look at me now
Making peace and making up for all that lost time
Learning how to see myself through my mothers eyes
Before I have a daughter
I've always been a driver
Guided by my fear and my ability to dream
A stubborn northstar fighter
And I'm terrified that one day she'll get that from me
Then I'll watch her grow up
Make mistakes the way I did when I was like she was
When I started believing
That life is a merry go round holding me down
Until I started to see that
This ride was only building me up look at me now
Making peace and making up for all that lost time
Learning how to love without compromise
Before I have a daughter
And I'm growing up
Making mistakes and breaking the chains before
I break anymore hearts
Before I have a daughter
I want to build myself a garden
The kind I have to water on the good days
And the bad ones too
