You never liked this sweater
You said it never really fit you right
And it itched too much
But I think I'll keep it
I should keep it
Cause it still makes me think of you
And that little boy I knew
In the bedroom down the hall
In the bedroom down the hall
I got you Ninja Turtle night-lights for protection
You used to say they kept the bad guys far away
Remember?
In the bedroom down the hall
I surprised you with that comic book collection
Next Halloween
I dressed you up like Wolverine
Remember?
With glow stars on the ceiling
You could count instead of sheep
I always knew which song to sing
To get you right to sleep
Anything to make you happy
Anything at all
Anything for my boy in the bedroom down the hall
In the bedroom down the hall
We went to battle every evening after dinner
I thought I knew some way that I'd get through to you
Remember?
In the bedroom down the hall
We fought a war where no one walked away a winner
Cause every day you pulled a little more away
Remember?
Saw the counselors and the clinics
And the cures a mother tries
Cause maybe they could take away that anger in your eyes
Anything to make you happy
Anything at all
Anything for my boy in the bedroom down the hall
Though you try
You try
To give your kid the world
Give ‘em everything you've got
What if I
What if I
Gave all I could
Gave all I could
And I thought it was enough
And I thought it was enough
But I find that
It was not
Did I let you down?
What else can I do?
Everything I ever did
I did it all for you
Anything to make you happy
Anything at all
Anything for my boy in the bedroom down the hall
In the bedroom down the hall
I think I'll wait another day to pack these boxes
Cause once I'm through
I'm left with just one thing to do
Remember
