Sadly his mother watches helplessly,

as her child demolishes the very fabric she believes in.

Catching an occasional glimpse, she remembers with great pain,

the anguish she felt, as the memories from her past re-appear.

Frustration turns to confused anger.

She still can't come to terms with the fact

that her husband took his own life.

"Why", she asks herself, "why didn't he tell me?

Why couldn't anybody lend him a helping hand?"

All the while her son is silently crying out for help.



[Intro]

Looking back in time,

Without consent.

two lovers ran away

A tragic tale, so often made

So sad and destined to fail



[Verse]

They're in and out of every place

Searchin' hard a sad disgrace

At best a darkened room, without a view

Those memories, still remain

Never once did she complain

Now time repeats itself, all over again



[Bridge]

What he did, was insane

Sadly his own life he'd take

And you've been left to face the guilt, alone



[Chorus]

Just try to remember

He was a victim of circumstance

Close your eyes, try to recall

The strength you felt

Now, is the time to be stronger

Than you've ever been before

Bury all your anguish and fear, you're not to blame



[Verse]

Don't analyze, come to terms

Face the truth, don't turn away

Where there's a will, there has to be a way

Into the world, your child came

Responsibility or shame

He backed away from you, don't lose him again



[Ad-libs]

You're not alone! you've got to be stronger
