Losing Her

She's loud and she's proud

She talks in her sleep

Keeps the neighbors up every night of the week

She tells a lot of jokes

That she laughs at alone

While she's sipping on a bottle

She's hard and she's soft

All at the same time

Hard on my heart and soft on my eyes

She's perfect in every way

And even when she isn't

She is just the same

Yeah, she's three, goin' on 17

She's harmless but she knows how to break me

I find it hard to open up to anyone

But I told her every secret before she could run

Now I'm here, scared and afraid

Of losing her

That laugh makes me cry

Cause someday I know

Life will come calling

She'll have to go

I'll raise her my best but then she'll do the rest

Even though it'll rip the heart from my chest

Yeah, she's three, goin' on 17

She's harmless but she knows how to break me

I know that there'll come a day

When she'll pack up her things

Load up the car and then

She'll drive away and leave me here

Scared and afraid of losing her

Well I can't let her go

But I won't let it show

She'll leave here still thinking

That I am still whole

But I'll be there, broken and never quite the same

From losing her
