With or Without Me

[ Verse 1 ] Awake at night. Thinking of what might be. My daughters and my wife. My wife and… me? Awake at night. Cannot fall asleep. If I'm not there What I might see. [ Pre-Chorus ] Without my family. I wouldn’t be. They’re the strongest. The strongest part of me. What they don’t realize is that I need them. I need them more than they need me. [ Chorus ] Should I keep them close? Not let go? Keep them safe. Can I though? I don’t think so. No, I don’t think so. [ Verse 2 ] She’s so sweet. She looks like me. She’s smarter. Calmer. Smarter. Calmer than I could ever be. [ Verse 3 ] She’s unique. Though she acts like me. She’s bolder. Stronger. Bolder. Stronger than I could ever be. [ Bridge ] What ( the hell ) Did she ever see in me? It remains a mystery. To me. Just lucky, I guess. Lucky me. [ Pre-Chorus ] Without my family. I wouldn’t be. They’re the strongest. The strongest part of me. What they don’t realize is that I need them. I need them more than they need me. [ Chorus ] Should I keep them close? Not let go? Keep them safe. Can I though? I don’t think so. No, I don’t think so. [ Outro ] They’re my family. Lucky me. I know I need to. Let it be. And if that is without me. So it be.
