[Verse 1]
When I'm away, when I can't stay
I know my heart breaks every night that I'm without you
Oh, my dear, I need you to hear
There's a reason for the miles that surround us

[Chorus]
One day, I'ma look in your eyes
Tell you you were made to shine
Tell you to go out and find, out and find
What makes you come alive
One day, I'ma point to the sky
Tell you you were made to fly
When I'm gone for too long
It's hard to handle
You know I'm tryna be a good example

[Post-Chorus]
I'm just tryna be a good example
So when it gets hard to handlе
You know I'm tryna be a good example

[Verse 2]
So you go and find your road
I promisе you will know the way when it's calling to you
And I'll be there, I'll be your cheerleader
I'll believe in you no matter what you choose, yeah
Every time I gotta leave
You gotta know it's killing me
I hope someday you'll see
I hope that you remember
[Chorus]
One day, I'ma look in your eyes
Tell you you were made to shine
Tell you to go out and find, out and find
What makes you come alive
One day, I'ma point to the sky
Tell you you were made to fly
When I'm gone for too long
It's hard to handle
You know I'm tryna be a good example

[Post-Chorus]
I'm just tryna be a good example
So when it gets hard to handle
You know I'm tryna be a good example

[Outro]
When I'm away, when I can't stay
I know my heart breaks every night that I'm without you
