In the Bedroom Down the Hall (Demo)
[CYNTHIA]
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

[HEIDI]
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

[CYNTHIA]
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?
Saw the counselors and the clinics
And the cures a mother tries
Cause maybe they could take away that anger in your eyes

[CYNTHIA & HEIDI]
Anything to make you happy
Anything at all
Anything for my boy in the bedroom down the hall

[CYNTHIA]
Though you try
 
[HEIDI]
You try


[CYNTHIA & HEIDI]
To give your kid the world
Give ‘em everything you’ve got

[CYNTHIA]
What if I
Gave all I could?
And I thought it was enough
But I find that
It was not

[HEIDI]
What if I
Gave all I could?
And I thought it was enough
It was not


[CYNTHIA]
Did I let you down?

[HEIDI]
What else can I do?
[CYNTHIA & HEIDI]
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

[CYNTHIA]
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
