Balancing the scales
All my job entails
Making sure that they're prepared to see the world
Making sure they're fine on their own
When they're old and they're grown
And all I see is shadows
But that doesn't make it easier to let them go
I walk past the doors and the corridors where they grew
And all I feel is emptiness
From this emptying nest
Edmund are you there
I was unaware
How difficult it'd be without you there
I was unprepared
Balancing the scales (balancing the scales)
I did the best I could but still I have failed (still I have failed)
Still I have failed
Balancing the scales
Want them to see the world but I'll always care
Balancing the scales
All my job entails
Making sure that they're prepared to see the world
Making sure they learn
Making sure they're perfect
Making sure their worth is always something that they know
But it doesn't make it easier to let them go
