My inner child weeps

My inner child weeps
It weeps for who I've become
I've become all the things I said I wouldn't
And I've left hurt run me 

My inner child weeps,
It weeps for this isn't the life I wanted
A life of using people to get ahead
For I know how being used hurts... 

My inner child weeps
For all the promises I made to myself
That I've broken already, so how do I expect
people to keep the promises they kept with me 

My inner child weeps
It weeps at how I've given up
On many battles just because I was told
While I was always steadfast, now I'm easily swayed 

My inner child weeps
It weeps at how I'm washed up
That's why I don't recognise myself
Constantly needing people's affirmation 

My inner child weeps
It weeps at my lost soul
Cause I wonder this days
While the path is right there I'm forging new ones.... 

My inner child weeps
It weeps out to my soul
To come back to me
For I feel detached more than ever from God 

My inner child weeps
It weeps at how sad I am
Walking round with a heavy load
Instead of entrusting it to God 

My inner child weeps
It weeps for the lost love
Of all the people I spent thinking off 
Forgetting that I need me first 

My inner child weeps
It weeps for the people I've hurt
As I tried to find my way through my mess
It's made me cold, I don't even smile this days 

My inner child weeps
It weeps because even though we got older
We've not gotten over it
We holding onto things we should have let go 

My inner child weeps
It weeps for me
For it senses I've given up
And feels I'm too grown to listen to it
