when will life stop being so confusing
my daughter asks at five
curiosity in her eyes
i tell her
when you know
deep inside
that what you do
is right
when will life stop being so confusing
my daughter asks at ten
tears in her eyes
i tell her
when you know
what you want
and why
when will life stop being so confusing
my daughter asks at fifteen
after her heart left her for another
i tell her
when you find
the second part
to your heart
and tell them
you are mine
when will life stop being so confusing
my daughter asks at twenty five
bags under her eyes
i tell her
when you pass on
what you have learned
to another
when will life stop being so confusing
my daughter cries at forty five
with loss in her eyes
i cannot tell her
that now it is up to her
to figure out the truth
