You dropped me off for the first day of school,
You cried a little and I looked like a fool,
You watched me play, play all day,

I never listened, I’d stray away,

As times changed you grew sick,
I tried to make you feel better any way I could,
But the sickness there, could not be overlooked,
You said you'd be fine, it'll all be ok,
