Stay Small Lyrics & Chords By The Receiving End Of Sirens

Son, I'm sorry for this world,
And all the awful things she'll do to you.
If you only knew what you'd endure before you were born,
I haven't got a single doubt,
You would have not come out,
And I would have known it was for the better.
You'll be raped of any evidence,
Of ever owning any innocence.
This culture's a vulture,
And you're prime candidate for prey.
I've learned that I will lose all that I've ever loved one day,
But I never thought I'd ever have to watch it all go,
Or wish it all away.
I know you'll grow,
But I wish I knew you'd stay small if I said so.
Please just don't grow.
Please just don't grow.
Just stay small, stay small
I know you'll grow,
But I wish I knew you'd stay small if I said so.
Please just don't grow.
Please just don't grow.
Just stay small, stay small
Daddy's little girl met the world,
I watched the devil do his work.
If only she knew just how sorry I was.
I found not a single prayer,
Could save my daughter from despair,
As long as she stayed in love with this place.
It's because I truly love her,
That I wish to take back the work,
That brought her here in the first place.
Had I only known that one act would be the reason
That my new baby girl
Like her dad would dance with demons.
I know you'll grow,
But I wish I knew you'd stay small if I said so.
Please just don't grow.
Please just don't grow.
Just stay small, stay small
I know you'll grow,
But I wish I knew you'd stay small if I said so.
Please just don't grow.
Please just don't grow.
Just stay small, stay small
Stay small
Stay small
Stay small
We watch the devil do his work in us.
I watch the devil do his work.
I know you'll grow,
But I wish I knew you'd stay small if I said so.
Please just don't grow.
Please just don't grow.
Just stay small, stay small
I know you'll grow,
But I wish I knew you'd stay small if I said so.
Please just don't grow.
Please just don't grow.
Just stay small, stay small
We watch the devil do his work in us.
We watch the devil do his work.
