I am so cold, I want you to heat me

I am so tired, I want you to carry me

I am so torn, I want you to mend me

I am so quiet, find words for me

chorus:

But I'm old enough to know

Old enough to understand

All these things I've carried here

Belong in a child's hands

I am so guilty, want you to absolve me

I am so distant, build a road to me

I don't want to know, promise you'll lie to me

Don't want to be alone, promise never to leave me

chorus:

But I'm old enough to know

Old enough to understand

All these things I've carried here

Belong in a child's hands
