A Little More of Your Time - 2015 Cut Song

[CHARLES]

No one tells you how to be a father
One day there’s a baby staring up at you
So perfect and unblemished, head to toe

And all you see is all the ways you’ll fail her
All the ways you’re lacking, best to hide in work
‘Cuz money is the only thing you know

You tell yourself don’t even bother
A daughter needs her mother, she’ll be fine
Go earn that dime

But all she wants is a little more of your time

One day she looks up, and you’re a stranger
You don’t know the names of any of her friends
If there’s a door, she’s on the other side

And in your house, you never know your role
No title or control, so back to work you go
You’ll always find a reason there to hide

You tell yourself that all this stuff
You accumulate’s enough
And then you just ignore the signs

When all she wants is a little more of your time

The only thing that counts
You gave to someone else

A little more of your time
