It's just a phase

Can you give daddy a cuddle goodnight?

No

It's just a phase

(Everything is a phase)

It's two in the morning and you wake up distressed

You scream "no, mummy" as I try to comfort you

It's just a phase

(Everything is a phase)

It's the morning now

"Mummy is in the shower" I say as I wrestle you from the stair gate again

It's just a phase

(Everything is a phase)

We've had this phase before and we'll have it again

While we're in it it just chips away at me piece by piece

Luckily it's just a phase.

Everything's a phase.
