The Kid Is Already Breaking

The kid is already breaking
 And he's just a little boy
 Throwing spiders and birds at children
 Gathering flowers and like-minded toys
 Sitting awkward upon his pedestal
 Exhaling mandalas from his mouth
 We are wondering if he's alright
 We are wondering if he still eats
 We are wondering if we did wrong
 When we told him that we believed
 Is he soon to be subsumed
 In the hissing sound of scrutiny?
 Is he soon to be alone
 With his fingers and thumbs shaking?
 Yes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry (ooh, la-la-la)
 I only really wanted to help
 But I know you've got to be careful (ooh, la-la-la)
 And you've got to always be strong
 It's your gift, but it's sometimes your weakness too (ooh, la-la-la)
 You've just got to always be strong
 Yes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry (ooh, la-la-la)
 I did the best I knew how to do
 Yes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry (ooh, la-la-la)
 I wish I could have thought only of you
