Lyrics

Age five just a little boy shy is he ready for the big surprise
He'll be playin lego in a dream when the shadows come to life
Age nine well he shouldda been fine with a secret hes sure to keep
Two times and he'll tell a little lie for the sake of him and me
Now its over
I need closure

Hey! look what you did to me
When you were taking me home getting me stoned leave me alone
I waited for mom to comfort me
But when I opened my mouth
Dont say, nuthin shhhhhh

Age twelve and it isnt goin well
Now hes three years to the day
Confused but unlike you this feeling wont go away
16 and the woman down the street
Has invited him to come inside
It was the first time
It didnt feel right
It'll be the last time he tries

Hey! look what you did to me
When you were taking me home getting me stoned leave me alone
I waited for mom to comfort me
But when I opened my mouth
Dont say nothings wrong
I wont say nuthings wrong
I wont say I wont say
I wont say I wont say
I wont say I wont sayyy

17 and all he's ever seen is is living in between the lies
Its kinda funny how a mind can keep living in denial
18 is a very strange scene, and he's still playin with the past
Expelled maybe someone could've helped
If someone had known to ask

Hey! look what you did to me
When you were taking me home getting me stoned leave me alone
I waited for mom to comfort me
But when I opened my mouth
Dont say, nuthin shhhhhh

19 and he's inocently parked right beside a school
He stares at a boy sittin there and the boy stares at him too
He walks over
He needs closure
