I KNEW HIM

He walks along the road
Looking for spare change
Cans and bottles 
That he can trade
His clothes are dirty
And his shoes are taped
I know him..
I know his face

~~~*Chorus*~~~
He's her baby boy
Her only Son
And he breaks her heart
Like no one
Like no one else can do...
Wish I could show him
Show him what he puts her through
~~*~~

You would never know
He's only twenty one
His eyes are old
From the drugs he's done
His mind is jaded
No his thoughts aren't clear
I know him..
Here come the tears

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
Her heart gets weaker every single day
She begs him to come home
Prays that he will change
But he looks right through her
Like she isn't there
He runs away
Too gone to care
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
He's her baby boy
Her only Son
And he breaks her heart
Like no one
Like no one else can do...
Wish I could show him
Show him what he puts her through
~~*~~

~~~*Finale*~~~
Wish I could save him
Shake him, make him aware...
I knew him
Knew him before
Before he went out there
I knew him...
~~*~~
