Bilingual
When she took the call I was out in the garden
I asked word for word what he said
That he needed to talk, he said, "Can I come over?"
And both of us knew what it meant
Don't let him see you with tears in your eyes
'Cause crying and pleading won't change his mind
Just walk away from him, make out you're fine
But I'm thinking
Let it be me
'Cause I can't bear the look in her eyes
The pain of rejection, that little girl look of surprise
Let it be me
Feeling the pain of my child
'Cause at least when you're feeling
That's when you know you're alive
I'll tell you a story of me and your father
The way it was for me
I gave it everything that I could
But I'm not so sure he'd agree
All these years later, and he's on his own
I moved away and the babies have flown
And I hope he finds someone so he's not alone
But I'm thinking
Let it be me
Finding the love of my life
Not drowning my heart out
And trying to make it all seem right
Let it be me
'Cause here in my heart there's a child
Who's been given a chance again
And needs to feel she's alive
Oh, let it be me
'Cause I can't bear the look in her eyes
The pain of rejection, that little girl look of surprise
Oh, let it be me
Feeling the pain of my child
'Cause at least when you're feeling
That's when you know you're alive
Yeah, as long as you're feeling
That's when you know you're alive
Don't let him see you with tears in your eyes
Crying and pleading won't change his mind
