Dear Sweet Boy

Hey little boy
Can you look me in the eyes
I know what you're going through
Sometimes it's just hard to get by

But I can promise you one thing
Though I'm not quite sure it's true
They say everything gets better
So lets get through together

You're a sweet little boy
Though you say you're a grown man
There are so many things you haven't done
And someday when it's all over you'll say it was a fight you won

I know you said we're only two years apart
But you see, I already lost my heart
There will be someone else, trust me
Besides I'm not what I put out to be

You have so many hopes and dreams
All that's left of me are ropes and screams
So go you're own way
After all there's no reason for you to stay

I already messed up my life
So don't choose the knife
I don't want you to end up like me
Go on out and be who you want to be
