A little pain

He stares at the pictures
Smiles on photographs
Just a little boy
Walking his mother down the isle

Poorer or the richer
Fake smiles and laughs
Boy never knew joy
Never been a child

Momma say it's ok
He lay hands to the boy
Bruises on his little frame

Not the same today
Can't find joy
Kids call him names

Deep
Down
I see you

I
Used
To
Be
You

You will make it through

Just a little pain
Just a little pain

Almost faded, this one
Standing next to a once friend
Played with him everyday
Looking happy the two of them

Good times gone
School day ends
He lays beaten in the worst way
Turned against, couldn't win

Go home bloody
Wash away the hurt
Deal the best you can

Never was your buddy
Changing his shirt
Thinking it'll change when he's a man

Just a little pain
Just a little pain

Ah, the sun in this one
Teenage summer years
The swing she sat in
Hair sun streaked gold

Everyday fun, fun, fun
He healed her cause for tears
Fall came and sat in
By winter she was cold

The lake house creaking
Two voices say
"He can't ever know"

Face freezing leaking
He just walked away
That year there was no snow

Just a little pain

Old man rocking on the front porch
Looking at pictures of how he became
Was a long road, but he carried the torch
Hand on his chest
Just a little pain
