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
