little boy
you think your old enough to know
your old enough to be a big man
They would send you to war if they could
so your a adult now

your a big boy
get some tattoos
peircings
i hope they send you far

fight a losing battle
fight until you die

do you think I'll remeber you when it's all over?

did it hurt
when i said no
when i tried to protect you
when i wouldn't show

i wanted to save you
from yourself
from ignorance
from heartbreak
what did you do but cry
what did you make me do?

lucky for a lack of a mental breakdown
you thought you came out hurt

too bad you'll never have the mind
to bad you burnt it out younger
to bad you started it up again

I wanted to save you
but instead i saved myself
