i want you to stay the way you are   skinny legs and all   i know the time is coming   when the boys will begin to call   i wish that i could hurt for you   when you are learning how to fall      you are the reason that i am alive today   you are the reason that i have changed my life   in a wonderful way      i can see the passion   that is growing inside of you      i can see the sadness   that throws a shadow down   on everything you do      i wish i was the man   you thought i was   back when life was new for you      you   dont know what its like   to feel a   love like this      you don't   know what it's like   to feel this kind of helplessness      you don't   know what it's like   to be weak      i hope you never know      i dont want you to be like me      i want you   to be clean      clean......      you are going to find a reason to hate me someday   you are going to find a reason to push me away   you are going to find reasons to blame me for your pain      i hope you never lose the magic   that is big inside of you      i hope you never do   the ridiculous things   that i used to do      i hope you never know my disease....      never being good enough      i don't want you to be like me      i want you to be clean      i want you to be clean
