My Son Doesn't Need Me Anymore

I still wake up the same way, Coffee on the stove. Two cups out of habit, But one stays cold. Your room is just a memory now, Dust where laughter lived. Funny how a house stays standing When everything else gives. I told myself it's just how life goes, But it don't feel right. My son doesn't need me anymore. That's what growing up becomes. He's got his own world now, His own place to run. I'm proud of the man you turned into. God knows I always will. But it's quiet here without you, And it always will. I remember every question You used to ask me why. Now you've got your own answers, And I just stand aside. I don't call as much as I want to, Don't want to get in your way. But I still keep your number close, Like you might need me one day. Maybe I did my job right. Still hurts the same. My son doesn't need me anymore. He don't look back like before. He's walking roads I can't follow now, Through a different door. I gave you everything I had, Every lesson, every part. Now I'm just a quiet memory Somewhere in your heart. Mm, I'm not angry. That's not it. I just miss Being needed. My son doesn't need me anymore, But I still need him sometimes. Just to hear his voice again. Just to know he's fine. And if life ever gets too heavy, And the world don't feel like home, I'll be right here where you left me. You were never Alone. My son doesn't need me anymore, But I still pray He knows I'm here.
