I've been wanting to tell you about this gap between us
It started when I expressed my sentiments
I just think you deserve better, than whoever
I really do look up to you, and I want you to be happy

So I guess I'll say my sorry before I really walk away
But I'll always remember how this didn't feel as right

I don't know what you're looking for
I just hope that indeed it's him

And there's you little big boy you
Well you're the promise we've all been waiting for*
I can't believe I'd be missing the day of your first broken heart
And I wanna do my part

You know that most of all I'll miss you
And if you cry for me I believe you
But for now I guess you'll have to let me go though

I don't know what I'm looking for
I just know that it's not in here
I don't know what I'm looking for
I just know that it's not in here anymore

Make sure you listen to mom & dad
Cause they'll teach you everything
Like how they taught me everything
And I'll always be grateful & faithful
But I can't be forever move under their wings

And well there's the two of you
Getting old and happy
And I can't be any happier for you
I'm just your middle child, and I've been screaming inside
In asking you to just let me be

So I guess I'll say my sorry before I really walk away
And I'll carry no burden should you understand me

But I don't know what I'm looking for
I just know that it's not in here
I don't know what I'm looking for
I just know that it's not in here anymore
