As a 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.
Let me just tell you I really should go back to sleep
It's not that I'm ungrateful I have too many memories to keep
I wish you could feel just how heavy I am all the time
Sometimes when I smile
I bite my lip so I don't cry
And it burns
For a while
And it hurts all the more
When you carry the world
As a child
All that I've wanted
Is to talk to someone who is dead
But unfortunately I can't call him
So I sing instead
Though I'd never tell you to cover yourself in a lie
But I will still bite my lip harder so that I don't cry
And it burns
For a while
And it hurts all the more
When you carry the world
As a child
And I burn
For myself
'Cause I know
That I should
When it's screaming at me to be felt
And we burn
All the time
'Cause it hurts all the more
When we carry the world
As a child
