No One Will Ever Love Me

You taught me how to whistle
And how to tie my shoes
And how to talk to Jesus
In the darkness of my room
You held my hand
When I got stitches
When one of Tommy Tyler's pitches hit my face
One time, I stole from your purse
Then I lied and made it worse
But you loved me anyway
Growing up I remember
Your amazing grace
I still feel your arms around me
Now and then
I miss you wavin' from the front door
I can't drive by there anymore
Cause no one'll ever love me
Like that again

You sent me all those letters
When I went off to school
I should have written you back
But I was too busy being cool
Funny how I couldn't wait
To get you on the phone to say
"Mom, I'm in love"
You were there, whether or not
I gave a little or a lot
It was enough

And I can still hear you saying
You're proud of me
And I remember thinking of you
As my friend
I miss you wavin' from the front door
I can't drive by there anymore
Cause no one'll ever love me
Like that again

I guess I miss you more today
Cause it's your birthday
And I couldn't bear for you to spend it here alone
Wish I could say this to your face
Instead of talking to your name carved in stone

I can still hear you saying, you're proud of me
And I can feel you arms around me now and then
There's a hole in my heart
In the shape of you marked
Cause no one will ever love me
No one will ever love me
Like that again
