My Boy
Unveiling Love's Struggle: A Father's Heartfelt Confession in 'My Boy'
Lyrics
You're sleeping son, I know
You, my son, are currently asleep.
But, really, this can't wait
However, this is something that can't be delayed.
I wanted to explain
I feel the need to clarify and communicate.
Before it gets too late
Before it becomes too late for explanation.
For your mother and me
Referring to your mother and me.
Love has finally died
The love between us has come to an end.
This is no happy home
This household is not a happy one.
But God knows how I've tried
But I want you to know I've made efforts.
Because you're all I have, my boy
You are everything I have, my son.
You are my life, my pride, my joy
You are my life, my source of pride, and my joy.
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy
If I choose to stay, it's for you, my boy.
I know it's hard to understand
Acknowledging that it might be difficult for you to comprehend.
Why did we ever start?
Questioning why we embarked on this journey in the first place.
We're more like strangers now
We have become like strangers, each playing a role.
Each acting out a part
Acting out predefined parts, rather than being genuine.
I have laughed, I have cried
Expressing a range of emotions—laughter and tears.
I have lost every game
I've experienced defeat in every aspect of life.
Taken all I can take
Enduring as much as I can, reaching my limit.
But I'll stay just the same
Despite the challenges, I remain the same.
Because you're all I have, my boy
Because you, my son, are my sole support.
You are my life, my pride, my joy
You represent my life, pride, and joy.
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy
If I continue to endure, it's for you, my boy.
Sleep on, you haven't heard a word
Continue sleeping, as you haven't heard what I've said.
Perhaps it's just as well
It might be for the best that you remain unaware.
Why spoil your little dreams
Why disrupt your innocent dreams?
Why put you through the hell
Why subject you to unnecessary pain?
Life is no fairytale
Life is not a fairy tale; it can be harsh.
As one day you will know
One day, you will understand the complexities of life.
But now you're just a child
But for now, you are just a child.
I'll stay here and watch you grow
I'll remain here, observing and supporting your growth.
Because you're all I have, my boy
Because you, my son, are all I have.
You are my life, my pride, my joy
You embody my life, pride, and joy.
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy
If I choose to stay, it's solely for you, my boy.
