Do you know?


Feeling restless, hard to sleep

when will you come back?

Endless thoughts about your safety

completely out of whack...

 

Do you know what you're doing?

The lives you are destroying?

Your son, your daughter, your mom, your father

Everyone is hurting.  

 

I thought one day that you would see,

I thought one day you'd know.

You broke our hearts and took our childhood,

Gave our family one massive blow.
