Rivals - To Dom lyrics

I wanna tell you a story
One that doesn't end well
About a boy and his lonely
And how his life went to hell
See his mom wasn't holy
She took the easy way out
I'll try to tell him the story
Hope he sees it ain't his fault

I saw my nephew cry
When he found out his mother died
Poor boy was only five
When he asked why his mom wasn't in his life
We couldn't tell him at the age of ten
For his birthday all he asked was this
"Where did she go? Why did she do it?
Am I alone? And can I make it on my own?"

I hope you see that the world is beautiful
And I pray that you see
That it's not your fault
'Cause we're here for you and we love you
Cry it out, let it go, it's all okay
And even with the pain
There's so much more, you see
'Cause we're here for you and we love you

At what point do you let it go?
Flowers bloom and you grow old
I hope our house can be your home
So I can get your story told

I saw my nephew cry
When he found out his mother died
Poor boy was only five
When he asked why his mom wasn't in his life
We couldn't tell him at the age of ten
For his birthday all he asked was this
"Where did she go? Why did she do it?
Am I alone? And can I make it on my own?"

I hope you see that the world is beautiful
And I pray that you see
That it's not your fault
'Cause we're here for you and we love you
Cry it out, let it go, it's all okay
And even with the pain
There's so much more, you see
'Cause we're here for you and we love you

(I just wasn't strong any more)
(That'd make me love you forever)
(I'm so sorry I did this)
(You were the sparkle in my
Life that will live forever)
That was yesterday
(Remember what we'd say every
Night before bed?) you'll find the strength
(Life is short, it happens)
When waves come crashing down (Be kind
And live everyday like it's your last)
When you're lost and can't be found
(I love you, Dominic)

I hope you see that the world is beautiful
And I pray that you see
That it's not your fault
'Cause we're here for you and we love you
Cry it out, let it go, it's all okay
And even with the pain
There's so much more you see
'Cause we're here for you and we love you

(Don't be sad, I'm in a better place)
(Be kind to one another)
(And let that little boy know that
His mother loves him very much, Love, Megan
