Black Lips - How Do You Tell A Child That Someone Has Died lyrics

How do you tell a child that someone has died

Innocent visions of youth are only a lie

I tried tell and lord knows I tried

But any way you break it you'll just make em cry

Little Tommy, I have bad news for you today

The teacher you loved Mr. Peterson

Has sadly passed away

He was killed by a motorist in a drunken act of rage

Let em live on in your heart

Now we must turn the page

Little Suzy, your father has passed on

His love for you was relentless as it was strong

If only he knew he'd be gone so soon

He would have tried and spent more time

But he's on God's clock, not yours and mine

Keep him in your heart each and every day

And there he will live on and never fade away
