Letter to My Kids

Yeah, I gotta get real personal on this ya know, for me
Screamin' out two things

When I was young my ambition in life
Was to finish way ahead of the game
Such a shame ya'll payin' the price
In this race of fortune and fame
I really feel apologetic inside
Though you'd never think to give me the blame
It's when I look into your lives
I wonder if it was really worth all the pain

Now I know what it takes
In the heights of mistakes
Is it there in the mind of a child?
Though it's all for our sakes
Still my heart, how it breaks
Every time that I see your smile

(Check it)
Conversations on the phone is fine
But for me it could never replace
Being there to spend quality time
Tuck you in to see the smile on your face
So when you're old enough to read these lines
I hope you never find yourself in my place
I hope you never feel as lonely as I
And miss the warmth of your childs embrace

Now I know what it takes
In the heights of mistakes
Is it there in the mind of a child?
No, no, no, no
Though its all for our sakes
Still my heart, how it breaks
Every time that I see your smile

Now I know what it takes
In the heights of mistakes
Is it there in the mind of a child?
No, no, no, no
Though it's all for our sakes
Still my heart, how it breaks
Every time that I see your smile

Now I know what it takes
In the heights of mistakes
Is it there in the mind of a child?
Though its all for our sakes
Still my heart, how it breaks
Every time that I see your smile
