Broken

(album: Dearest Christian, I'm So Very Sorry For Bringing You Here. Love, Dad - 1998)

In anything that you do, I will be happy for you, so ecstatic for you
Whatever you are to be, I hope that you'll think of me within your sweetest daydreams
Whenever you decide to die, I hope you're fortified with all you want in life
Whenever you have to change, don't let it make you run away from all that I have to say
Because they'll love you today, when all they really wanna do is ruin everything

I just can't sleep at nite
Knowing the wolves are out to get you
And all the hurt awaiting with life
I just can't walk away knowing...
The pain might leave you broken

If there's anything you might hate, don't make my mistakes, let it dissipate
All the things you'll go thru, I know that they'll punish me more than they punish you
Anytime guilt is felt, don't touch thru no one else, they'll make you hurt yourself
Anything you might see looks that looks like it's defeating me, don't be afraid of these things
Because you're stronger than me, and all they really wanna do is ruin everything

I just can't sleep at nite
Knowing the wolves are out to get you
And all the hurt awaiting with life
I just can't walk away knowing...
The pain might leave you broken
Knowing...
The pain that left me broken

Because they'll love you today, when all they really wanna do is ruin everything

In anything that you do, I will be happy for you...so ecstatic for you
