You take a look around your house
You see the broken door and
That window you taped some time ago

You feel the fight still hanging in these walls
All the blame all the shame you can easily recall
But the thought of losing him
Will turn your stomach to stone

You’ve tried everything; the hard way, the right way and oh, the gentlest approach
You’ve tried to say it in all possible ways 
But it still wasn’t good enough

Ohoh, he’ll come clean in the end There’s no sword above you You know that he loves you

Boys’ll be boys and they sure make noise 
He’ll explode into violence
Then leave you with the silence
Searching for tools that can mend your heart
His youth seems to tear you both apart
Guess they all kick and scream ‘till they reach thirty 
And it somehow all falls into place

But stick with him like my mother did with my brother
When he got into trouble for so many things
Your son’s not as lost as you may think

Ohoh, he’ll come clean in the end There’s no sword above you You know that he loves you 
Ohoh, don’t try to understand Just know that he loves you There’s no sword above you

Oh, you just wanna leave it all behind
So the walls can forget what you’ve seen
Hmm, you wanna start over that’s not a crime
But it’s not in your hands 
In the end all it really takes is time

Ohoh, he’ll come clean in the end There’s no sword above you You know that he loves you 
Ohoh, don’t try to understand Just know that he loves you There’s no sword above you
