To Dom - Rivals

I wanna tell you a story

One that doesn’t end well

About a boy and his lonely

And how his life went to hell

See his mom wasn’t holy

She took the easy way out

I’ll try to tell him the story

Hope he sees it ain’t his fault

I saw my nephew cry

When he found out his mother died

Poor boy was only five

When he asked why his mom wasn’t in his life

We couldn’t tell him

At the age of ten, for his birthday all he asked was this

«Where did she go?

Why did she do it?

Am I alone?

And can I make it on my own?»

I hope you see that the world is bautiful

And I pray that you see that it’s not your fault

'Cause we’re hre for you and we love you

Cry it out, let it go, it’s all okay

And even with the pain, there’s so much more, you see

'Cause we’re here for you and we love you

At what point do you let it go?

Flowers bloom and you grow old

I hope our house can be your home

So I can get your story told

I saw my nephew cry

When he found out his mother died

Poor boy was only five

When he asked why his mom wasn’t in his life

We couldn’t tell him

At the age of ten, for his birthday all he asked was this

«Where did she go?

Why did she do it?

Am I alone?

And can I make it on my own?»

I hope you see that the world is beautiful

And I pray that you see that it’s not your fault

'Cause we’re here for you and we love you

Cry it out, let it go, it’s all okay

And even with the pain, there’s so much more, you see

'Cause we’re here for you and we love you

(I just wasn’t strong any more)

(That'd make me love you forever)

(I'm so sorry I did this)

(You were the sparkle in my life that will live forever)

That was yesterday

(Remember what we’d say every night before bed?)

You’ll find the strength

(Life is short, it happens)

When waves come crashing down

(Be kind, and live everyday like it’s your last)

When you’re lost and can’t be found

(I love you, Dominic)

I hope you see that the world is beautiful

And I pray that you see that it’s not your fault

'Cause we’re here for you and we love you

Cry it out, let it go, it’s all okay

And even with the pain, there’s so much more you see

'Cause we’re here for you and we love you

(Don't be sad)

(I'm in a better place)

(Be kind to one another)

(And let that little boy know that his mother loves him very much)

(Love, Megan)
