Watching someone self-destruct
Is all I’ve ever known
Raised amid the empties
Didn’t know a happy home
And now I build a world
Un-shameful for my kids
I know that I’m not perfect
But then again who is?
I try to keep their innocence
I don’t want them to see
The things that haunt my mind
The things that make me me
I don’t want them to know
The fear and pain I’ve felt
I don’t want them to see
I want them to be themselves
