everybody's gone and you know that you're alone
you had to witness something so young like a crack into the throne
and i'm sorry baby but thats the way it had to be
maybe we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream
and i try to defend you
but it seems like it always backfires on me

i know that you're scared
but please dont cry, it just adds more weight on my shoulders
its like a bolder and if it gets any heaver then it'll break my neck
and i just might die
now you know i love you
but it gets so hard sometimes
to keep my grasp on reality
it feels like the world is playing me
and i try to keep you safe, because i know that its a mission
but i cant keep playing this same game
it's like over and out

now you're almost 5
ha, i cant believe my eye's how fast you've grown up
i still can see you're scared
because nobody ever cared
but when you look at the world
there's million's of other girls just as precious going through it just like you
all they want to do is just see you smile
but i know it can be though to understand it as a child
i dont expect you to get on your first try
but please just dont stay the same way
you know that i'm just about to say that everything is gonna be ok
so for that reason i switch it up today

it seems like you've had to pay
not your parents but you, they act like you're on clearance
just know that they love you, i know it may be hard to see that
but baby i know that that just happens to be a fact
and now you want to run away, because they had they're divorce fight today
and somebody has come to take you to the young childrens home
just for now were its safe and calm
but you're crying, you're fighting
they tell you, calm down and hush up
everything is gonna be alright
now you now not to believe, because thats what everyone has said to you when you're in need
 
i know that you're scared
but please dont cry, it just adds more weight on my shoulders
its like a bolder and if it gets any heaver then it'll break my neck
and i just might die
now you know i love you
but it gets so hard sometimes
to keep my grasp on reality
it feels like the world is playing me
and i try to keep you safe, because i know that its a mission
but i cant keep playing this same game
it's like over and out

it's like i'm the heart and you're the armor
it used to be the other way
and when they took you away to a better place
you should have seen the torn look on both of your parents faces
because you were they're baby, baby, the only lady that they adore
and now you're gone away to someplace were they think it's safer
for you to be
but you're screaming from the back of the truck, and you're parents turn away because they've herd enough
and i know that sometimes it's just a little to rough
for you
you grew up in the 'hood' we're you're home got shott at
and you'd get robbed of your possessions, as if god wanted to teach you some kind of lesson
for being brought here
but hey, dont listen to that because it's not true and it's just a bunch of crap
people stand out side you're house like it's some kind of trap

i know that you're scared
but please dont cry, i promise you that everything's gonna be alright
