I watch you grow up And I watch as you get tall I watch as you try to escape As you seem desperate To run away I watch as you boil In anger As you struggle To acknowledge What goes on in your brain So you push it away Store it and lock it In a far away place So it can't escape I watch as the pain Settles in your eyes As I slowly forget What it was like To watch your face light up With a childish joy As I watch you live I watch as you step In the footsteps of mine That I wish I didnt take I watch you live the life I already went through So now its been experienced twice As I gave you Everything Every bad thing about my mind You've developed And it tears me Shreds me like i'm paper As i had promised To give you a better life than this Yet All i've done Is watching you live A miserable life That has already been lived
