I see the road,
But where will it take me?
I'll carry my load,
And follow the signs.
The signs show no hope.
And most of them blank anyway.
Where is the road?
I can talk so you save me.
Still I try to maintain clever conversation.
Not just found love,
Now I'm sick in my salvation.
From the fear and the realness,
I've escaped my adolescence,
But, no, no no.
There's no turning back now.
Like a punch in the face,
This news can't hit harder.
I'm loosing my place,
Trying to swallow it down.
Am I awake?
Should I question my heart, or?
For every word that she says,
Every word that she says!
Should I leave this place?
Pretend it's not my bother?
Find someone else?
‘Cause I'm not prepared to father.
I'm seventeen for Christ's sake, and I just want my mom.
But, no, oh, no.
There's no turing back now.
And suddenly I've sunk into nothing.
I'm useless,
‘Cause I don't give a fuck about nothing.
But she seems trusting.
She says she loves me.
But what does that mean?
Oh what a coward.
I took no blame for how it happened.
She says she loves me,
And still I feel cornered.
I wish I had a dad for this man to man,
But he left me.
Oh he left me.
It's a mistake,
But It was mine to make.
Leave it? Or take it?
I'll break through the pain.
I've got time,
I've got nine months to get my shit together.
And turn myself around.
I can protect her.
She loves me,
It's in this letter.
I'll go show her I'm a man
I won't let her down.
I'm seventeen
A dad to be.
There's no turning back now.
