Vs. 1
I saw a boy and he was crying, wondering on his own
Mystified about death and dying, circumstances he can't control
Suffocating from desertion, engulfed and overwhelmed
Yet I was present through every heartache
So he wouldn't feel alone...but he turned away
Chorus
I'm unwanted, bleeding, pleading just to ease you
I'm unwanted...again
Vs. 2
Now as a man he grows colder, adopting lessons from his past
Angry, bitter and broken, uncaring at first glance
Criticized from every failure, his heart it blooms to stone
But I was softening the misery
Because he wasn't alone...then blamed it on me
Bridge
Through your loss, your struggle and your rage
Every tear that falls down your face
I will be there through the end...even though...
