Why, son, if you did right
Turned out alright
Spoke honest
Were kind, and all that
Do you fear your broken heart?

You gave your all
Did not make her feel small
At her gazed, only
Promised her your days
Now, nighttime…damn, dark nighttime

Take back your breath she stole
Beggar no more — you’re whole
This will take all you know
You did right by her, didn’t you?
Now do right by you
