Balancing The Scales Lyrics

Balancing the scale
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 scale

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 scared

Balancing the scale

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
