I still mourn the loss of that little boy
I know I killed a piece of your heart
To this day I never forgot
No one would listen, no one cared
No one fought for you and your heart
You have to believe that I was listening
You have to believe that I cared
You cried, you screamed, you died
I caused that, I know that
The guilt and shame follows me everywhere I wander
You were innocent and you were beautiful
You brought me more joy then you can imagine
For that I ripped the heart out of a child
If I could only go back
If I could only put the pieces back together
This was not your fault
I cried 10,000 nights
It was my doing, it was me
I prayed 10,000 prayers
I killed a place in your heart
I swear I didn’t know things would end the way they did
You were but a child, you were innocent
I should have known
It was me
