You used to tell me to wish upon a star,

You used to tell me not to go too far,

You used to tell me to say please and thank you

You used to tell me when it was appropriate to say ‘i love you’

You used to show me how to tie my shoes

You used to show me how to brush my hair too

You used to show me how to bake

You even showed me how to play patty cake

You used to tell me that I wasn’t always going to agree

You used to tell me how much you loved me

You used to tell me stories about all the things you’d been through

But you never told me how hard it would be to live without you
