Lyric discussion by standrod38 

this song is about a father and his son and his son is doing drugs "or break with the ones you've followed" that means that hes followed the drugs addicts and hes gonna break with them if he doesnt change his ways if u read more of the lyrics it will all make sense this song is awesome

thank you so much! i've always been wondering what this song meant and now it makes so much sense! It's such a sad song, though, but i still like it.

No it's not, it's about a young person the singer mentored at a camp of some sort

I think you are right and when you have a closer look at the song, the quotes "grant him one last choice" and "I would have stayed up with you all night had I known how to save a life" make it seem like the dad has been really trying to help his son but feels helpless as he is becoming more addicted .Thank you for making this comment for it gives the song much more meaning.
