Cheer up Charlie don't be angry mom will be home again
If she sees you crying then she's sorry for leaving you
But mommy's angel remember she'll be back on day
To tuck you into bed again
Charlie my boy I didn't mean to hurt you
Just trying to protect you from who you will become
And I'll remember your smile for the end of time
But always know that im dying inside
Cheer up Charlie don't be angry it's been ten years
Since I last saw you, how are you how have you been?
I know you're dreaming but im leaving and I won't be back again
And now your older and colder and im sorry for what I did
Charlie my boy I didn't mean to hurt you
Just trying to protect you from who you will become
And I'll remember your smile for the end of time
But always know that im dying inside
And I must confess that I wasn't enough
I couldn't save you from yourself
From your self-destruct
Now my life is just a mess
And im the one to blame
If I could turn back the clock
I would save us from the pain
Crying won't save us now
The guilt is too far gone
All I see is darkness now
I don't want to be alone
I don't want to be alone
I don't want to be alone
I don't want to be alone
Charlie my boy I didn't mean to hurt you
Just trying to protect you from who you will become
And I'll remember your smile for the end of time
But always know that im dying inside
