At Odds (feat. Jon Colon & Lex) - Nate G.D

I once knew your father well. He fought tears as he spoke Of your mother's health. I guess a part of him just couldn't return. Forgiveness is the lesson He cursed you to learn. As your guardian, I was instructed well To make sense of God's love in these fires of hell. Now I don't expect you to understand, Just to live what little life Your broken heart can. Maybe your light is a seed, And the darkness, the dirt. In spite of the uneven odds Beauty lifts from the earth. As the years move on These questions take shape. Are you getting stronger Or is time shifting weight? No one expects you to understand, Just to live what little life Your mended heart can. You'll always remember The moment God took her away, For the weight of the world Was placed on your shoulders that day. Maybe your light is a seed, And the darkness, the dirt. In spite of the uneven odds Beauty lifts from the earth. You're much too young now So I'll write these words down: Darkness exists To make light truly count.

How can I just let you walk away Just let you leave without a trace When I stand here taking every breath with you You're the only one who really knew me at all How can you just walk away from me When all I can do is watch you leave? 'Cause we shared the laughter and the pain And even shared the tears You're the only one who really knew me at all So take a look at me now 'Cause there's just an empty space There's nothing left here to remind me Just the memory of your face So take a look at me now When there's just an empty space And you coming back to me is against the odds And that's what I've got to face I wish I could just make you turn around Turn around to see me cry There's so much I need to say to you So many reasons why You're the only one who really knew me at all Take a look at me now There's just an empty space And there's nothing left here to remind me Just the memory of your face So take a look at me now So there's just an empty space But to wait for you is all I can do And that's what I've got to face Take a good look at me now 'Cause I'll still be standing here And you coming back to me is against all odds It's the chance I've gotta take Hey, yeah Take a look at me now
