Oh Yeah

It's all about what holds you together, you know?
And I think it's about letting go.
Keep track of what makes you feel strong,
and don't let those weak moments grow.
I'm just a kid,
when I don't think too much.
Just a child,
learning about boundaries and such.
But I'm somebody's mom,
when you stand up and look real close.
Creating comforts, joining journeys,
being responsible for this life I chose.

Oh yeah,
it's all about what holds you together.
You have to stop and think before you let go.
Keep track and make it all make you strong.
Pay attention and don't let those weak moments grow.

After all is said and done,
I was somebody's wife, too.
He may not remember but maybe he does.
Sometimes, I get lonely and bored and lost in all this.
But somewhere in me,
I'm still the girl that I was.
Every bit of this is what holds me together.
Even when I feel like I'm letting go.
Even when I'm weak,
I'm getting stronger.
And most of all,
when you're not looking,
I'm still gonna grow.
