| this is one hell of a song.. it takes balls to put that in a song, whether he did it or not.. the guy lives a rough life, does something wrong, tries to move on.. yeah, he tries.. he's got a concious and realizes that what he did was wrong and tries to go somwhere with his life.. once again, this guy knows how to live his life.. let me tell you.. he knows that each day could be the last and tries to fix things up before he has nothing left. | |

| I think he killed her son, maybe their son. Because it says she lost all her friends and thought her life was done, maybe thats because she had a kid. And he said grab your son. Copped means to like, confess. Yeah thats what i got out of it, he killed her son so they could be together. | |
