Just thought you'd like to know

about

Some very good friends split up and one of them was left with a child. The real situation was actually in reverse to the song. He actually left her and went off to remain a child, meaning, he didn’t want the responsibility of a family.
I put myself in the shoes of a guy in that situation and I’ve gotta say, that was the first time I’ve actually cried while writing a song.

lyrics

I guess it's been a year now since you left us
Funny how the time just passes by
It seems like only yesterday I held you close
And vowed that we would never let love die
All of that's behind me, now I'm mended
I hardly ever hear our daughter cry

I sat and watched her play outside this morning
Her little smiles reminded me of you
The feeling almost caught me for a moment
But then I just found something else to do
I thought it time to write another letter
I wonder why we never hear from you

Just thought you'd like to know
That we're just fine without you
There's nothing we won't make it through, just takes a little time
There's really nothing wrong, I'm just biding time
We're on the uphill climb, just thought you'd like to know

Our little girl just reached her seventh birthday
I can't get over just how much she's grown
We gave her a party with her school friends
I thought that, just perhaps, you might have phoned
But in your brand new life of glory
I guess we very seldom cross your mind
And it would be sad to hear from you only once a year, and so...

Just thought you'd like to know
That we're just fine without you
There's nothing we won't make it through, just takes a little time
There's really nothing wrong, I'm just biding time
We're on the uphill climb, just thought you'd like to know

We're only hurting sometimes, just thought you'd like to know
