I wish I could have told you
That we would be okay
I wish I could have said
You'll get away someday
It doesn't matter how you dress
Doesn't matter how you walk
The shadows will find you
In every moment you talk
Kid, there is a black shadow
That you cannot shake
There are some things
That even parents cannot break
