In The Bedroom Down The Hall

You never liked this sweater
You said it never really fit you right and it itched too much
But I think I'll keep it, I should keep it
'Cause it still makes me think of you and that little boy I knew
In the bedroom down the hall

In the bedroom down the hall
I got you Ninja Turtle night lights for protection
You used to say they kept the bad guys far away
Remember?

In the bedroom down the hall
I surprised you with that comic book collection
Next Halloween, I dressed you up like Wolverine
Remember?

With glow stars on the ceiling you could count instead of sheep
I always knew which song to sing to get you right to sleep

Anything to make you happy
Anything at all
Anything for my boy in the bedroom down the hall

In the bedroom down the hall
We went to battle every evening after dinner
I thought I knew some way that I'd get through to you
Remember?

In the bedroom down the hall
We fought a war where no one walked away a winner
'Cause every day you pulled a little more away
Remember?

So the counselors and the clinics and the cures a mother tries
'Cause maybe they could take away that anger in your eyes

Anything to make you happy
Anything at all
Anything for my boy in the bedroom down the hall

(Oh, you try) you try to give your kid the world
Give him everything you've got
What if I gave all I could (what if I gave all I could)
And I thought it was enough (and I thought it was enough)
But I find that it was not?

Did I let you down?

What else can I do?

Everything I ever did, I did it all for you

Anything to make you happy
Anything at all
Anything for my boy in the bedroom down the hall

In the bedroom down the hall
I think I'll wait another day to pack these boxes
'Cause once I'm through
I'm left with just one thing to do
Remember
