When I was only eight years old, I daydreamed that life would be amazing
I've seen a lot lately, a couple of daisies, a whole lot of crazy
And I remember eighteen, daddy would say things like son just keep chasing
Stand tall or you'll slip and fall
Keep your eye on the ball cause I've seen it all
And I know right now you're just my little guy
So look me right here in the eye
I'll try to teach you to be a man
I'll do the best I can
And when you're all alone, you can call my phone
I couldn't ask for a better friend
I'll help you understand that life can break and bend
But we can all be fixed
Now I'm just a person but remember these words when nothing's for certain
You're gonna get lost but just keep on searching when you're heartbroke and hurting
You gotta be brave, you gotta be strong
Cause life's not made for lasting long
You gotta be thankful, you gotta be kind
And anytime you're in a bind
I'll be there
I'll be there
And I know right now you're just my little guy
So look me right here in the eye
I'll try to teach you to be a man
I'll do the best I can
And when you're all alone, you can call my phone
I couldn't ask for a better friend
I'll help you understand that life can break and bend
But we can all be fixed
Put yourself back together
Dry your eyes, it gets better
Put yourself back together
Dry your eyes, it gets better
Put yourself back together
Dry your eyes, it gets better
Put yourself back together
Dry your eyes, it gets better
I know I owe you about a grand
For the keys you gave my hands
I swear I'll pay you back
With songs for fellow men
Ooh, I swear I'll try to be a better man
I'll do the best I can
Cause you helped me understand that we can all be fixed
Ooh we can all be fixed
