Nine years old, how could you know
Life would be over before it began
I won't go in peace she said to me
She said, I'm not dead yet... I'm not dead
I can't take your pain (take away your pain)
Took all the strength I had to watch you make it through
There could be no way (I'd ever be the same)
The influence you have on me will never ever end
I was a ten year old boy
I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep
Will she ever stop hurting?
How can I go on without you? I can't do it
I'm not very strong without you
These white walls became our home
And I believed it would all work out ok
Cause I don't want you to know it could hurt me too
A piece of me is forever left with you
I can't take your pain (take away your pain)
Took all the strength I had to watch you make it through
There could be no way (I'd ever be the same)
The influence you have on me will never ever end
I'm sorry you're hurting
What can I do!?
What if I can't save you this time?
What am I supposed to do?
And when my world comes crashing down
My feet will be rooted firmly in the ground
My fists are clenched cause life is tough
You're the one who taught me, never give up
You are my inspiration
That's why I sing this song
You are my inspiration
So help me sing along
You are my inspiration
Before I'm dead and gone
You are my inspiration
To keep moving on
