I'm Sorry, Child

You never knew me Don't you try to know me now You're the poison in this bottle That I'm choking down The hum in the kitchen Nagging at my nerves The cold in winter That nobody deserves And there will be a day When I can't save you child I'll be so far away That you can't see me smile And when that day comes I can't apologize Everyone will likely tell you how to live your life But don't listen to a damn thing Cuz they don't have a clue Believe me child, I've lived it Never quit being you Never quit I'm sorry, child Think of me often Or just when you have some time Don't let them twist you Or cut you in line Don't let them change you In chemical parades Because someday child All of that will fade And there will be a day When you won't see me child I'll be so far away You won't see me smile When that day comes I can't apologize Everyone will likely tell you how to live your own life But don't listen to a damn thing Because they don't have a clue Believe me child, I've lived it Never stop being you Never quit being you I'm so sorry, child I'm so sorry, child I'm so sorry Child
