A Little More of Your Time (Charles) - 2015 Cut Song

No one tells you
How to be a father
One day, there's a baby
Staring 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
'Cause 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

In your house
You never know your role
No title of 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
