The Letter
Sweat and blood and ink I've spent
But I've saved my tears
I won't spring a leak for them
Sharply dressed and ill at ease
Like a sucker keen to please
The man, the boss, the teacher
I have tried to fall in love
It did nothing more then leave me messed up
Some wild, bitter baby
Now I'm crying for whoever
Contentment would have made
All things pass and change
I wish you could
Have lived your life
All the things you would have seen
Oh the man you could've been
I would stand beside you
Now the hours and seconds crawl
Made me question it all again
Why my son, my boy, my light?
You would have found someone to love
Someone sweet and kind, a lot like you
She'd be your everything
And it would have saved you
Contentment would have made
All things pass and change
I wish you could
Have lived your life
But I've saved my tears
I won't spring a leak for them
Sharply dressed and ill at ease
Like a sucker keen to please
The man, the boss, the teacher
I have tried to fall in love
It did nothing more then leave me messed up
Some wild, bitter baby
Now I'm crying for whoever
Contentment would have made
All things pass and change
I wish you could
Have lived your life
All the things you would have seen
Oh the man you could've been
I would stand beside you
Now the hours and seconds crawl
Made me question it all again
Why my son, my boy, my light?
You would have found someone to love
Someone sweet and kind, a lot like you
She'd be your everything
And it would have saved you
Contentment would have made
All things pass and change
I wish you could
Have lived your life
