Lyrics

The dreams I had for you
When you were only two
All the things you would do
If only they came true

You grew up like a weed
Teen years were bad indeed
So wanted to be freed
No advice would you heed

Why did you become a nightmare
Even with parents who still care
Do you like living the nightmare
Has it been enough of a scare
Will we awake from the nightmare
Our prodigal come home from there
Got to end the nightmare
Got to end the nightmare

Sketchy friends you would choose
Went down the path to lose
Gave up school for the booze
All we hear is bad news

Who would think you would fail
Went from promise to jail
Broke hearts on a large scale
Stuck inside with no bail

Why did you become a nightmare
Even with parents who still care
Do you like living the nightmare
Has it been enough of a scare
Will we awake from the nightmare
Our prodigal come home from there
Got to end the nightmare
Got to end the nightmare
