You'll Be Alright Kid

I wish I had the number to my younger self. I'd pick up the phone and say you're only 12, And you've lost more than most people do. You don't know it now but there's still more to lose. Cause friends move away and people get older. Your heart's gonna break over and over. You're not to blame, so don't blame yourself. I hope this helps. You're gonna ask why? You're gonna want answers. Gonna feel like no one ever understands you. You're gonna think twice before you start praying, And wonder when the walls will stop caving. Hate to be the one to tell you this, But you'll be alright kid. I wish you knew the feeling wasn't permanent. I wish you knew your brother would come back again. And time does heal but don't heal everything. If you knew it now who you were gonna be, You might care less about what they think, Stop trying to impress the people who leave. It scares you to death, but don't take it hard, Cause I know you are. You're gonna ask why? You're gonna want answers. Gonna feel like no one ever understands you. You're gonna think twice before you start praying, And wonder when the walls will stop caving. Hate to be the one to tell you this, But you'll be alright. Growing up's not easy, But it's gonna get better. Growing up's not easy, Alone. You're gonna ask why? You're gonna want answers. Gonna feel like no one ever understands you. You're gonna think twice before you start praying, And wonder when the walls will stop caving. Hate to be the one to tell you this, Hate to be the one to tell you this, But you'll be alright kid.
