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
