Heath McNease - Plane Lyrics

When I was six years old, my daddy packed his bags and said, "I'm gone"But he never left, just took his bags outside and mowed the lawnAnd I understand it nowSometimes you're just too overwhelmed to fightAnd leaving was the best thing for his broken heartBut best ain't always rightIt's not what you gotOr what you think you'll getIt's what you've got leftI put her on a plane, told her that, "I'll be here when you land"I watched her fly away and knew I'd never see her face againI understand it nowI swear she almost said it with her eyesOur love was all too realBut just because it's real don't make it rightIt's not what you gotOr what you think you'll getIt's what you've got leftI read a lot of books about a man that no one's ever seenI talk to him at night, sometimes I wish he'd stop and talk to meAnd I'll never understand, though smarter people say one day I mightBut just because I think I'm wrong about him doesn't make me rightIt's not what you gotOr what you think you'll getIt's what you've got left
