You take a look around your house

You see the broken door and

That window you taped some time ago

You feel the fight still hanging in these walls

All the blame all the shame you can easily recall

But the thought of losing him

Will turn your stomach to stone

You’ve tried everything; the hard way, the right way and oh, the gentlest approach

You’ve tried to say it in all possible ways

But it still wasn’t good enough

Ohoh, he’ll come clean in the end There’s no sword above you You know that he loves you

Boys’ll be boys and thеy sure make noise

Hе’ll explode into violence

Then leave you with the silence

Searching for tools that can mend your heart

His youth seems to tear you both apart

Guess they all kick and scream ‘till they reach thirty

And it somehow all falls into place

But stick with him like my mother did with my brother

When he got into trouble for so many things

Your son’s not as lost as you may think

Ohoh, he’ll come clean in the end There’s no sword above you You know that he loves you

Ohoh, don’t try to understand Just know that he loves you There’s no sword above you

Oh, you just wanna leave it all behind

So the walls can forget what you’ve seen

Hmm, you wanna start over that’s not a crime

But it’s not in your hands

In the end all it really takes is time

Ohoh, he’ll come clean in the end There’s no sword above you You know that he loves you

Ohoh, don’t try to understand Just know that he loves you There’s no sword above you
