Even Steven

When our only child was born
We could barely hide the joy
All our friends and family knew about our treasured little boy
We would give the world to Steven
That was our master plan
We’d watch our little slugger grow into a fine young man

We tried to hide the truth, but we can’t do that anymore
Doesn’t work to keep it locked behind closed doors
Everyone can see the heartache plainly shows
And the saddest part of all is that even Steven knows

Our lives were filled with storybooks
And playing in the park
Teddy bears and banged up knees, chasing monsters from the dark
Even when our love grew cold
And passion turned to ache
We tried to hide our feelings for little Steven’s sake

We tried to hide the truth, but we can’t do that anymore
Doesn’t work to keep it locked behind closed doors
Everyone can see the heartache plainly shows
And the saddest part of all is that even Steven knows

Even Steven sees we’re not happy
He sees the distance showing in our eyes
We tried the very best we know
But now it’s time we must let go
‘Cause even Steven sees right through the lies

You’re packing up your life
Each item in a box
Our time together’s ending with each ticking of the clock
He’s sitting on the front steps
As if to block your way
Steven’s life is changing, it’ll never be the same

We tried to hide the truth, but we can’t do that anymore
Doesn’t work to keep it locked behind closed doors
Everyone can see the heartache plainly shows
And the saddest part of all is that even Steven knows
Yes, the saddest part of all is that even Steven knows
