Stay Small (Acoustic)

Текст песни The Receiving End Of Sirens - Stay Small (Acoustic)

Son, I'm sorry for this world
And all the awful things she'll do to you
If you only knew what you'd endure before you were born
I wouldn't have a single doubt
You would have not come out
And I would have known it was for the better

You'll be raped of any evidence
Of ever owning any innocence
This culture's a vulture
And you're prime candidate for prey
I've learned that I will lose all that I've ever loved one day
But I never thought I'd ever have to watch it all go
Or wish it all away

I know you'll grow
But I wish I knew you'd stay small if I said so
Please just don't grow
Please just don't grow
Just stay small, stay small
I know you'll grow
But I wish I knew you'd stay small if I said so
Please just don't grow
Please just don't grow
Just stay small, stay small
Daddy's little girl met the world
I watched the devil do his work
If only she knew just how sorry I was
I found not a single prayer
Could save my daughter from despair
As long as she stayed in love with this place

It's because I truly love her
That I wish to take back the work
That brought her here in the first place
Had I only known that one act would be the reason
That my new baby girl
Like her dad would dance with demons

I know you'll grow
But I wish I knew you'd stay small if I said so
Please just don't grow
Please just don't grow
Just stay small, stay small
I know you'll grow
But I wish I knew you'd stay small if I said so
Please just don't grow
Please just don't grow
Just stay small, stay small

Stay small
Stay small
Stay small
We watch the devil do his work in us
I watch the devil do his work

I know you'll grow
But I wish I knew you'd stay small if I said so
Please just don't grow
Please just don't grow
Just stay small, stay small
I know you'll grow
But I wish I knew you'd stay small if I said so
Please just don't grow
Please just don't grow
Just stay small, stay small

We watch the devil do his work in us
We watch the devil do his work
