I cant begin to tell you,
What I want to say to you.
I hold it in,
Let you live.

I know your falling
Deeper then you see.
But you've seen this road already.
I cant stop you.
I wont try.

I just sit back and close my eyes.
I dont want to see
What will happen to you.
I dont want history to
Repeat itself.

This is a storm
We cant prevent.
A window left open
For the rain to flood in.
Leaving nothing left.

I know the mistakes your
Making.
With me.
With her.
You’ve made them before.

The choices you've made.
The ones on the way.
Can never be right.
Never thought you’d be wrong.

I’ll walk down this road with you.
Stop at every corner.
Look both ways.
And hope you see what I see.

That the street life.
Isnt what it seems.
You know where they end up.
You have so much more.

But your throwing that all
Away.
For someone you
No longer are.

We’ve been through too much.
To walk away now.
I know we’ve buried the past.
I know we’ve buried the crown.

Your heart and soul lay
In the ground.
But you mind is blurred.
With that alcohol.

Is this really what you want?
A street family?
Because the one you have,
Isnt as bad as
It seems.

Please put your head up.
Out of the haze.

Your the only person I know.
Who sees me the same.
Your making a big mistake.

And ill pay whatever price.
Ill run through the gangs.
To know your alright.

Ill fight anyone here
Who hurts you so.

Because your MY family.
My heart and soul.
