There was boy

Bout two years old
年仅两岁
That's much too young
太过年幼
Too see what would unfold
难料未来风雨
His dad so bold
父亲虚张声势
So full of lies
满口谎言
Caught up in things
深陷泥潭
That would take his life
终将付出生命代价
He'd leave behind
他留下遗憾离去
Old words unsaid
未说出口的旧话
His loved ones left
留下至亲之人
To deal with it
独自承受苦痛
So when his boy got older
当男孩渐渐长大
With less than a little guidance
在缺乏指引的岁月
Needed more assurance
渴求更多依靠
A little strength and courage
需要勇气与力量
But he knew what he knows now
若他当时知晓如今的一切
He may be with us still
或许仍会留在我们身旁
If he knew what he knows now
若他当时知晓如今的一切
Ooohhh

Sometimes cry alone

Secrets filled with shame

Cuz if you want I'll tell the world
