There's a young child sitting on the bench 
Her father sitting next to her 
And they're calm and it's peaceful 

In four years 
I will be grown 
I will no longer be a little kid 
Sitting in my father's truck 
A ford from 77 
That he sold that when I turned thirteen
Even though he promised it to me 

Here 
I will wait 
To see what will change 
And what will stay the same 
I wish I had stayed 
When it wasn't my choice 
So I left 
And you grew old 

I should just let the sun set 
I shouldn't try so hard 
Just to stay stuck in the same place 
I still have time 
To sit and watch the stars 
I shouldn't be in a rush to grow old 

Today I am afraid 
For today my life 
Lies in the hands of people 
Who see me as a monster 
A destroyer
