Honey, I Am a Child
I am still a child
The world is yet undefined
Life sometimes feels tedious
Then I look at you
Are you any better than me?
Do you hold the answers I seek?
Do you hold the answers you seek?
Because if we are both like me
Honey, aren't we broken?
I want to hold onto you
If only to chase some idea that I hope to be true
Or because of a past I remember
Even if I am bit down
Even if I am tired
Even if I am worn out
See, I am trying to learn
You frighten me at times
I can't see you trying
So often I see you resigning
I believe if I quit it will be the end of us
