If I could talk to The ten year old version of me I don't know what I'd tell him Who was going to die in his life And how he'd deal with it Would he want to know me I'm a mess, an addict, a man who doesn't know his meaning Thrown around like a hurricane's winds does with cattle Houses, I'd build castles to have a sense of Where I'm going Mind exploding Stare into his eyes and say Life's not what it's cracked up to be You'll use drugs, as a form of dependence I'm sorry I'm sorry Never meant to hurt what I was Take his hand, walk him down To where I sat, when I thought of ending it all Say you'll sit here 5 years from now Please don't jump Maybe you should I don't want to die But I sing about it all the time Think about it day and night Short supply of sanity Hold his hand and say come with me Together, cold embrace of the river Tangling all around our feet I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry To disappoint you, I'm sorry
