Looking out the window out on the street

I don't know what happened, I'm out on my feet

I hear my mother calling my name

I still come running but I ain't the same.

You can change the channel

Take the phone off the hook

Avoid the headline

But you'll never grow up baby if you don't look.

When I saw him go down

Felt like somebody lied

I had to hold my breath

Till the coast was clear

When I saw him go down

Felt like somebody lied

I had to close my eyes

Just to stop the tears.

You're used to winning, how did it feel?

Did you hear the screaming? it was unreal

What did they pay you? what did it cost?

How long did it take you to know that you lost?

You can hit the shower

Fill the place up with steam

And close the curtain

But when you woke up, man, it wasn't no dream.

When I saw him go down

Felt like somebody lied

I had to hold my breath

Till the coast was clear

When I saw him go down

Felt like somebody lied

I had to close my eyes,

Close my eyes just to stop the tears.

Looking out the window out on the street

My boy and his mother and I think of me

I'm feeling the slip again, I don't wanna fall

You said it was nothing, but maybe you're wrong.

When I saw him go down

Felt like somebody lied

I had to hold my breath

Till the coast was clear

When I saw him go down

Felt like somebody lied

I had to close my eyes

Just to stop the tear

Just to stop the tears

Just to stop the tears.
