Stolen Daydreams

A baby cries at night His mother necking down some cheap old whiskey He's two years old too young for goodbyes His daddy said son you won't miss me That baby boy has hope in his eyes Through the tattered clothes and lonely nights Still his mother ignores his cries Just doing what she wants never thinks twice That baby's gonna let go Nobody wants to see him grow Some people want diamond rings some people want the simplest things Why does he cry when they sing Family means everything And he's gotta find his own way Through shattered means of broken memories No body tells him what not to say Living in his mind of stolen daydreams Now he's just sixteen Keeps to himself at the back of his class But there's this beauty Queen that's been catching his eyes And he falls fast And he's afraid she'll leave If she knows about his lonely streak But tells him she's not so bleak Its okay love put your trust in me She doesn't want to let him go He's afraid he love'll her so Some people want diamond rings Some people want the simplest thing Why does he cry when they sing Family means everything And he's gotta find his own way Through shattered means of broken memories No body tells him what not to say Living in his mind of stolen daydreams Some people want diamond rings Some people want the simplest thing Why does he cry when they sing Family means everything And he's gotta find his own way Through shattered means of broken memories No body tells him what not to say Living in his mind of stolen daydreams He's got walls up where his heart is Can't afford to be broken hearted He's got walls up where his heart is Can't afford to be broken hearted He's got walls up where his heart is Can't afford to be broken hearted He's got walls up where his heart is Can't afford to be broken hearted
