when i was young you waited patiently for me to grow you smiling down your hand in mine but i didn't know a voice i'd heard all of my life locked away in my insides now whispering "it's time to go" so i told all i know goodbye
you told me that you don't change when everything around me did and when i ran away you said there's no trespass you won't forgive sometimes it feels like when i was small the way that you still smile at me and after all these years you're still the one that i thought you would be
the world says that you are someone you are not to know you better i've had to forget what i've been taught and if the whole world decides to turn its back on you i'll be right here 'cause they don't know you the way that i do
i once had lots of family who all have gone away the storm came down and shook our house they decided not to stay they feared the wind and rain and fled for their lives but i didn't care i stayed and waited for the storm to pass i knew you were there
the world says that you are someone you are not to know you better i've had to forget what i've been taught and if the whole world decides to turn its back on you i'll be right here 'cause they don't know you
when i was young you waited patiently for me to grow you smiling down your hand in mine but i didn't know a voice i'd heard all of my life locked away in my insides now whispering "it's time to go" so i told all i know goodbye
