Everything You Never Gave

[Verse 1]
I remember sitting by the window
Wishing on every passing car
Like they were shooting stars
And it felt like years I'd be waiting there
You'd call and say you're running late
"How about another day?"
What really matters to a man?
I've made my peace with it
I hope you can

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm gonna have a baby soon
And I know I'll know what to do
So I guess in a crazy way, I wanna thank you
Yes I do
For showing me what it is, everything I have to give
Well I know what she wants, what she needs
It's everything you never gave to me

[Verse 2]
So strong, the one you can rely on
The smell of aftershave and you know it's all gonna be okay
Cheering on proud even when you don't win
Saying "Forget about the rest, you've just gotta do your best"
Well, I watched other men do that
That's how I know

[Chorus]
And when I have my baby soon
I know I'll know what to do
I guess in a crazy way, I wanna thank you
Yes I do
For showing me what it is, everything I have to give
Well I know what she wants, what she needs
It's everything you never gave to me

[Verse 3]
You've made your choices
You've gotta live with your mistakes
I swear they're the ones I'll never make
She'll never be waiting by the window
No, I won't be the first man to break her heart, no

[Chorus]
And when I have my baby soon
I know I'll know what to do
I guess in a crazy way, I wanna thank you
Yes I do
For showing me what it is, everything I have to give
Well I know what she wants, what she needs
It's everything you never gave to me
Everything you never gave to me
Mmhmm
