You don't understand So let me be fair I was drivin' in my car and Suddenly a, a child was standin' there It was dark on that street But I can still see his face And if I could right now I'd surely take his place So don't tell me it's alright Don't tell me it's gonna be fine A child is gone away But he lives on inside my mind Serious wreckage Makin' my head swoon Serious wreckage Brown bag on the midnight Moon Serious wreckage Wet, wet, bloody wet One drink to remember One more to forget that serious wreckage He coulda changed the world But look what he got He coulda been everything Everything that I am not So I take flowers to the funeral But I've forgotten how to grieve And I struggle every night With what to believe Do you see, can you see his face Serious wreckage Makin' my head swoon Serious wreckage Brown bag on the midnight Moon Serious wreckage Wet, wet, bloody wet One drink to remember One more to forget that serious wreckage Serious wreckage Makin' my head swoon Serious wreckage Brown bag on the midnight Moon Serious wreckage Wet, wet, bloody wet One drink to remember One more to forget that serious wreckage And the walking wounded carry their innocent son With a heavy heart, they bury their anger I can stay sober one more day, yeah And the walking wounded carry their innocent son With a heavy heart, the walking wounded celebrate his sojourn with others If I take a chance and walk with them I can stay sober one more day, yeah So don't tell me it's alright No, don't tell me it's gonna be fine A child that left this world Is living on inside my mind (inside my mind) (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
