Broken

Let the boy breathe
Let him live in his skin, not on your lead
Tryna be the man, tell me, what does that mean?
Let him rise, let him fall, let the kid be
Let him be unmoored, let him drift free
Tell him he’s fine when he needs your help
Tell him not to cry, to express himself
«Better man up! Better do it or else
Someone gonna tread all over you if you don’t give 'em hell!»
But that emotion isn’t yours to feel
We as adults make a wound that’ll never heal
Hold it in with this stamped seal
At least he won’t be susceptible to the perils of the playing field
Apparently so
His heart tell him that he don’t wanna follow the same road
And you’re scared of where that might lead and won’t let him go
But it’s who he is, he wants you to know
In only a moment I’m broken
Caught in my heart, now I’m frozen
That was the moment when my world
Fell down
In only a moment I’m broken
If only the truth it was spoken
I’m reaching up just as my world
Falls down
Let the boy dream
Now he’s tryna grapple with his self esteem
Measuring everything against what he could’a been
There’s always somethin' or someone who got the better genes
When the par score is nothin' less than evergreen
And he’s nothin', less than seventeen and runs with the pack
Never let 'em see your weakness so he’s runnin' at that
Only think about the talent you lack
Put your whole head and heart in but he’s stuck at the back
So real (so real), so real, so real
It’s too real (too real), too real, too real
Soon he feel like he got nothin' to lose
And nothin' to gain, but somethin' to prove, he’s so confused
He’s at a party now with someone run him the booze
He’s cuttin' it loose, the gap between the fun and the fuse lit
Could be the touch of a toothpick
In only a moment I’m broken
Caught in my heart, now I’m frozen
That was the moment when my world
Fell down
In only a moment I’m broken
If only the truth it was spoken
I’m reaching up just as my world
Falls down
In only a moment I’m broken
Caught in my heart, now I’m frozen
That was the moment when my world
Fell down
In only a moment I’m broken
If only the truth it was spoken
I’m reaching up just as my world
Falls down
Until the day that I’m over you
I’ll get by with the chosen few
On the day that I’m over you
Even the stars will seem brand new
But in every one of my footsteps is a small part of you
So let me be me
I love you
But let me be me
