oh no the child’s grown a diabetic left alone to die
and they’re never gonna know how hard she tried to hide her own damn cries

oh no the child’s grown an old man falls apart beneath an older sky
and they’re never gonna know the strength behind his eyes

I’ve been thinking about my son hoping that he’d stop by maybe to call me dad
I’ve been watching the water run feeling its all grown old knowing its all i am

no i didn’t mean for this to be my life but here i am, what’s to say its still the same
the faces that have come to call on them again as friends would be a lie but still i try
i know they’re never gonna know me the way i know myself

I’ve been thinking about my son hoping that he’d stop by maybe to call me dad
I’ve been watching the water run feeling its all grown old knowing its all i am
