*Verse 1*

You Dreamed He'd Shine Like The Sun

Now You Son Is Set

Hey Dad, Grab Another Cigarette

Ashes Fall Like An Unpaid Debt

Come On Everybody Place Your Bets

In Seventh Grade He Dug His Grave

Trying To Be Cool With The Cool Kids Hey

Follow Everything They Say

You Might Fit In If You Misbehave

At Sixteen He Promised He'd Be Clean

You Didn't Bend, But You Sure Did Lean

You Do Not Deserve This

*Chorous*

Hey Mr. Wilmington

Yeah, I Heard About Your Son

It's Hard Enough To Hide Your Scars

In Smalltown USA

Sweet Mr. Wilmington

Yeah I Read About Your Son

Don't Blame Yourself, You Raised Him Right

Remember That When You Can't Sleep At Night

*Verse 2*

At Twenty-one You Found His Gun

Hey Dad, It's Just Begun

The Ties That Bind, They Come Undone

Come On Everybody, Just For Fun

At Twenty-four You Found Him On The Floor

Decadence Was All He Wore

*Chrous*



*Verse3*

At The Funeral, Read His Eulogy

Insincere Apologies

You Do Not Deserve This

All The Papers And Press Decide

Hey, Just Another Suicide

You Do Not Deserve This
