    LYRICS
    The trees are swaying out the window and you’re not with me today
    You’re with him and that’s okay. That’s okay.
    I hope you’re running round in circles, hope you’re laughing till you drop
    I hope you’re feeling safe, I hope you’re feeling loved
    The days are longer when you’re not here, I’ve been staring at the skyWondering what I used to do with all my time
    You’re a universe of starlight bursting out of every seam
    And the house is so damn quiet when you leave
    You’ve been asking lots of questions lately, trying to figure out
    Why the endings in your books don’t match ours
    And it breaks my heart trying to find some words you’ll understand
    Cos baby nothing about this was in the plan
    All that I can tell you is a complicated truth
    I’ll always love your daddy, cos together we made you
    From the moment I first met him I knew everything would change
    Your daddy woke my heart up in the kitchen that day
    He wore no metal armour, rode a vesper not a horse
    But I’d never felt so seen and so adored
    We loved each other’s faulty parts, we kissed each other’s wounds
    Till one day we were opening them too
    And I know your books don’t end like that, I know it’s hard to take
    A promise is a promise you say
    And all that I can tell you is a complicated truth
    I’ll always love your daddy
    But now our love is something new
    Now I’m walking past your empty bedroom, turning off the lights
    And I’m hoping that he’s tucked you in tight
    Cos I haven’t had the answers lately
    Haven’t known what to say
    When you ask me why love runs away
    And all that I can give you are these complicated truths
    Sometimes happiness is the hardest thing to choose
    But I’ll always love your daddy, cos together we made you

    My husband moved out a year ago today. This video popped up on my feed and it completely floored me. Your songs have spoken to me at so many points in my life and this one really hit home. Our situation may be a little different but I know that feeling of trying to explain the unexplainable to a small person who just wants to understand and knowing that you cant give them the one thing they really want. Sending you love and solidarity. Thank you for sharing these pieces of you that speak so deeply to others.

    My wife and I split when our daughter was 4. This song brought me right back there. The video may as well have been audio only as I couldn’t see it through the tears. Once when I was bringing her back to her Mum’s she told that we don’t have enough time; she was five. Breaks my heart even now. She’ll be 20 in October. All we want for our children is to be happy, healthy and loved. Beautiful song! Thank you.

    Just WOW, been listening to Chappell Roan a lot lately and she reminds me of so many great artists, one of which is Missy in terms or song construction & lyrical economy as well as vocal technique.
    Along with Vanessa & Delta, her songwriting just gets better with every year.
