Beautiful Boy

Red wrists and crimson letter on your chest,
"Don't hurt yourself", my one request
The world treats you like a toy...
Beautiful boy, broken boy

I know you find it difficult to stay,
But it will break me if you go away
Maybe I'm selfish, I don't know
But please tell me you won't go.

You can't see your worth, but I do
Please believe what I say is true:
You amaze me daily, truly blow my mind
I swear that I will never leave you behind.

I'm crying for you now, and I'll cry for you if you leave...
I don't know if I can, but let me try to be your reprieve;
This world is cold and cruel, I know
But it will be a darker place if you go.

Achingly beautiful boy, trust me, please...
You are not the one carrying the disease;
Achingly beautiful boy, can't you see?
You're worth so much more than he will ever be.
