Lyrics
Lonely Child
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't want you to be alone
Lonely child like me
Lonely child who trusts no one
And finds it hard to breathe
I know you are on your own
No brothers and sisters in your home
You are the only one
But you don't have to be the lonely one
Like I was raised to be
Like I was raised to be
Like I was raised to be
You're my perfection, My clean slate
My tabula rasa if you like
Oh but birthdays seem so long ago
Some days are hanging by a thread
You wouldn't notice
You were meant to be
An angel playing in the dirt
In spite of all the hurt
Like I was raised to be
Like I was meant to be
Like I was made to be
Like I was meant to be
Like I was raised to be
Like I was meant to be
Like I was made to be
Like I was raised to be
