A family broken apart when Wife left. Family bonds and love have improved. Now love is stronger than it was. 

__LYRICS__

Saw you today in that same old coat,
Looking worn-down, tired, and broke.
A little heavier, your smile gone—
The kids were with me, standing near,
You walked right by, eyes nowhere clear.
Lost in a world you made your own,
Didn’t even care what you left alone.


So...
I held on when you let go.
I stood my ground, you lost control.
You got your freedom, I got the truth—
You ran from love, I gave it proof.
So look who's left... 
And who ran away.
You spun your tales 'til you believed
That leaving was the way to breathe.
You lit the match, tried to scorch it all—
Thought I’d go down, thought I would fall.
Look who left when the fire got hot,
And who stayed behind and put it out.

You thought I’d fold, you thought I’d drown—
But when the storm came down, I held my ground.

So...
I held on when you let go.
I stood my ground, you lost control.
You got your freedom, I got the truth—
You ran from love, I gave it proof.
So look who's left... 
And who ran away. 

Had to field the questions, nod and smile—
“Think you can do this, even for a while?”
They all assumed I’d fall apart,
But I stitched new joy into this heart.
Yeah, dinners are late, and bedtimes too,
But there’s more laughter than we ever knew.

It’s not picture-perfect, but it’s real and loud,
A little chaos, but I’m damn proud.
No art on walls or baby toys—
Just honest talk and teenage noise.
They lean on me, and I don’t fold—
That’s love, steady and bold.

bitch, I held on when you let go.
I stood my ground, you lost control.
You got your freedom, I got the truth—
You ran from love, I gave it proof.
So look who's left... 
And who ran away.
(Look who's left) (Look who's left...)

I held on...

Look Who's Left
