I knew a boy once when I was small
A towhead blond with eyes of salt
He played the drum in the marching band
His parents cared more about the Bible
I knew a boy once when I was small
A towhead blond with eyes of salt
He played the drum in the marching band
His parents cared more about the Bible
Than being good to their own child
He wore long sleeves 'cause of his dad
And somehow we fell out of touch
Hope he took his bad deal and made a royal flush
Don't know if I'll see you again someday
But if you're out there, I hope that you're okay
[Verse 2]
My middle school friend grew up alone
She raised her brothers on her own
Her parents hated who she loved
She couldn't wait to go to college
She was tired, 'cause she was brought into a world
Where family was merely blood
Does she know how proud I am she was created?
With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred?
We don't talk much, but I just gotta say
I miss you, and I hope that you're okay
[Bridge]
Address the letters to the holes in my butterfly wings
Nothing's forever, nothing's as good as it seems
And when the clouds won't iron out
And the monsters creep into your house
Every door is hard to close
[Outro]
Well, I hope you know how proud I am you were created
With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred
But, God, I hope that you're happier today
Cause I love you
And I hope that you're okay
Kont naf tifel darba meta I kien żgħir
A blond towhead mal-għajnejn ta 'melħ
Huwa lagħab it-tanbur fil-faxxa marching
Ġenituri tiegħu kkultivat aktar dwar il-Bibbja
Milli tkun tajba għat-tarbija tagħhom stess
Huwa libes kawża kmiem twal "tal dad tiegħu
U b'xi mod aħna waqgħu barra tal-mess
Hope huwa ħa ftehim ħażin tiegħu u għamel flush rjali
Ma nafx jekk jien ser tara inti darb'oħra someday
Imma jekk int hemmhekk, nispera li int okay
[Verse 2]
My friend iskola tan-nofs kiber waħdu
Hija qajmet aħwa tagħha fuq tagħha stess
ġenituri tagħha hated li hi iħobb
Hija ma setgħux jistennew li jmorru lil kulleġġ
Hija kienet għajjien, "kawża hija kienet miġjuba fis-dinja
Fejn il-familja kienet biss demm
Ma hi taf kif kburija I am kienet maħluqa?
Bl-kuraġġ li unlearn kollha mibegħda tagħhom?
Aħna ma nitkellmux ħafna, imma jien biss gotta ngħid
I miss inti, u nispera li int okay
[Bridge]
Jindirizzaw l-ittri lill-toqob fil ġwienaħ farfett tiegħi
Xejn huwa dejjem, xejn huwa kif tajba kif jidher
U meta l-sħab mhux se telimina
U l-monsters creep fis-dar tiegħek
Kull bieb huwa diffiċli li qrib
[Outro]
Well, I hope inti taf kif kburi jiena inti kienu maħluqa
Bl-kuraġġ li unlearn kollha ta 'mibegħda tagħhom
Iżda, Alla, nispera li int kuntenti llum
Cause I love you
U nispera li int okay
