If only you knew the heartbreak in their eyes

As the tears roll down like rain covered lies

Their lives spin in and back out of control

That’s all you want is the control

All you’re getting is broken children you don’t even know

You want respect that you never give them… in return

You can’t even name just one of their friends, teachers, doctors, or interests at all

So self-absorbed with little thought to the ones that carry your name

Who they are, what makes them tick, or how you’re driving them insane

You don’t even know… it’s tragic that you don’t even know

Here they are all battered, bruised, and mentally withdrawn

Just the way you made them to be but you don’t even know!

Don’t ask me how to repair a relationship mangled by your own greed

The damage you’ve done is out of my hands, it’s between you three

I’ve spent years helping them to move past the pain they were in for so damned long!

But here you come again! With more disappointing news… you’ve made other plans

At least you promise to see them again…when it’s convenient for you

You don’t even know! You just don’t even know!

Never mind the times they made plans of their own

Remember when their faces lit up, like halos in the night?

Just to hear you agree to let them have a life… showed that you cared

But now they’ve grown so cold of all of your little lies

Broken promises make it hard for them to trust in you again

But you don’t even know! Or is it that you just don’t care?

Going back on your word but expecting more of them

Why are you so blind to the hurt you’re causing in their little worlds?

Why can’t you see the tragedy in the way that you treat them?

Here and now stand up and fight! Do what’s right!

Be the man they needed every day of their lives

The one who cares about the things that are important to them

Get to know more of them then they know of you

But you don’t even know! Or is it that you just don’t care?

Time flies faster than the speed of light

And in these little lives you are everything, even on your worst of days

They look up to you but you’re falling faster than the moon from the sky

It’s all up to you, is control so important that you don’t even know…

Who they are or who they want to be? Or is it that you just don’t care at all?

Give them a promise they can take to the grave or just shut your mouth

Stop handing out false hopes, lies, and pain

You don’t even know! You just don’t even know!

You don’t even know! You just don’t even know…..You just don’t even know
