Boyhood

I watched you grow away
I watched you grow
Can’t ever throw away
Those feelings show
You said that you would stay but
Even momma knows
Can’t have it another way
Have to let you go

Couldn’t see at all
Wasting time, you were a friend of mine
Feel it in the veins of our bloodline
Speaking too much, I merge it to a lie

We’ve seen it all
So close so it’s harder to find
But I know you’ll always be in my life
My life

I watched you grow away
I watched you grow
Can’t ever throw away
Those feelings show
You said that you would stay but
Even momma knows
Can’t have it another way
Have to let you go

I don’t wanna tell dad it’s all over
I don’t wanna be a weight on your shoulders
I don’t wanna live a life of coping
I’m hoping, I’m hoping

When I die, come to my hearse
I want you to be there first when my lungs burst
When my lungs burst, when my lungs burst
When my lungs burst, when my lungs burst

I watched you grow away
I watched you grow
Can’t ever throw away
Those feelings show
You said that you would stay but
Even momma knows
Can’t have it another way
Have to let you go
