Dear Parents - How Long Lyrics

When I was twelve I was a monster
And I hope I don't turn out bad
I'm so tired of dealing with this
I'm so tired of being sad
And If you knew just what my mind thought
Maybe you would sympathize
And If you knew just what my body felt
Oh the pain behind my eyes
And I hope that I'm alone forever
So I don't hurt my love
And I hope that I'm alone forever
So I don't hurt my love
When I was twelve I took something
Something from someone close to me
This is not a side I want my children to see
This is not who I was supposed to be
And I hope that god shows mercy
I hope he doesn't let this consume me
And I hope that I'm alone forever
So I don't hurt my love
And I hope that I'm alone forever
So I don't hurt my love
How long until you're heart breaks How long until I get an escape
How long until you're walking on glass
How long until these emotions pass
How long
How long
How long
How long

When I was twelve I was a monster
And I hope I don't turn out bad
I'm so tired of dealing with this
I'm so tired of being sad
And If you knew just what my mind thought
Maybe you would sympathize
And If you knew just what my body felt
Oh the pain behind my eyes
And I hope that I'm alone forever
So I don't hurt my love
And I hope that I'm alone forever
So I don't hurt my love
When I was twelve I took something
Something from someone close to me
This is not a side I want my children to see
This is not who I was supposed to be
And I hope that god shows mercy
I hope he doesn't let this consume me
And I hope that I'm alone forever
So I don't hurt my love
And I hope that I'm alone forever
So I don't hurt my love
How long until you're heart breaks How long until I get an escape
How long until you're walking on glass
How long until these emotions pass
How long
How long
How long
How long
