Little Boy Lyrics Meanings
by Alessandro Landolfi

Little boy, don't be shy, you will be alright
He'll come home tonight
Come and hold you tight
Little boy, listen, please: don't you make mistakes
He was just in a lot of pain
Didn't mean to hurt your soul in vain
Didn't want to teach your tender heart to hate

When will he understand that
Words are like a knife in your chest
He said "you're gonna ruin our family"
You said "you're gonna break my destiny"
I say "for each other's sake you'd die and kill"

Father, is this what your hell on earth looks like?
Do you know how it feels to sleep at night
When demons come and try to take your breath away?

Little boy, don't you cry
He will change his mind
Fold your hands and pray
Pray he'll make it right

Why did he have to act like this
When he just needed more time to heal?

They say love can mend a broken heart
Too much pride will make us fall apart
Childhood memories are buried in the yard

Father, is this what your hell on earth looks like?
Do you know how it feels to sleep at night
When demons come and try to take your breath away?

Father, this is what my hell on earth looks like
Do you know how it feels to sleep at night
When the sheets are cold, your soul is not strong enough to pray?
