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
Min dizanibû a boy carekê dema ez biçûk bûm
A blond towhead bi çavên xwê
Ew drum li band meş played
dê û bavê wî dixwar more about the Bible
Ji ber ku baş ji bo zarok xwe bi xwe
Wî ji mêj ve doza sleeves dirêj 'ji bavê xwe
Û bi awayekî em ket ji touch
Hope wî rahişt deal xerab xwe û pêk a kîmyavî royal
Nizanim ka ez ê bi te re dîsa rojekê bibînin
Lê eger tu ji bûne, hene, ez hêvî dikim ku tu baş î
[Verse 2]
Dostê min dibistana navîn şîn bûn bi tena serê
Ew birayên wê li ser xwe bi xwe rakir
dê û bavê xwe nefret kir, ku ew jê hez dike
Ew nikaribû bendê ji bo herin zanîngehê
Wê westiyayî bûm, 'ji ber ku ew di nav cîhanê de hate anîn
Where malbata tenê xwîna bû
Ma ew nizanin ku çawa serbilind ez im, ew hate afirandin?
Bi wêrekî unlearn hemû kîna wan?
Em ji gelek nîqaş ne, lê ez tenê gotta dibêjin
Ez beriya te dikim, û ez hêvî dikim ku tu baş î
[Pir]
Navnîşana nameyên ji kunên li baskên butterfly min
Tiştek e û her, tiştek e, wek ku qenc wek wisa xuya dike
Û di gava ku ewrên wê ne ji hesin derket
Û ji cinawirên nav mala te diçfi
Her derî zehmet nêzîk e
[Outro]
Baş e, ez hêvî dikim ku hûn dizanin çawa serbilind ez ji te re hatine afirandin im
Bi wêrekî unlearn hemû kîna wan
Lê, Xwedê, ez hêvî dikim ku hûn îro biborînin î
Ku ez ji te hez dikim
Û ez hêvî dikim ku tu baş î
