| When I was a child, I made you mine
|
| Learned the depths, of your design
|
| You were vibrant and wild, appeared so bold
|
| So full of life, invulnerable
|
| From day one you took me in
|
| Went on to shape me into all I am
|
| And I came to believe, I knew you best
|
| But I didn’t think ahead
|
| Riddled with excitement, who could have foretold?
|
| You were far from eternal by default
|
| All was calm until the day
|
| They came in thinking they could pave the way
|
| They, the demons that take, won’t hesitate
|
| To feel the fire and seal our fate
|
| I want to hold on
|
| To all that you are for longer
|
| But I can feel you changing as you age
|
| And I know the way that you were
|
| Isn’t the way you will be
|
| But keep hoping I can make you fine
|
| And heal you in time
|
| Though at home in your warmth, when you grow cold
|
| The way you wrap me in your arms, it won’t get old
|
| Though a valiant force, one to be reckoned with
|
| You’re gracious at best with only love to give
|
| But I have watched as over time
|
| They’ve made a slave of you and run you dry
|
| They’ve broken you down, hollowed you out
|
| Is there nothing left but doubt now?
|
| I want to hold on
|
| To all that you are for longer
|
| But I can feel you changing as we age
|
| And I know the way that you were
|
| Isn’t the way you will be
|
| But keep hoping I can make you fine
|
| And heal you in time
|
| All’s not lost if I can make you fine
|
| You’re all I’ve got, I want to heal you in time
|
| All’s not lost if I can make you fine
|
| You’re all I want, I’ve got to heal you in time
|
| All’s not lost if I can make you fine
|
| You’re all I’ve got, I want to heal you in time
|
| All’s not lost if I can make you fine
|
| I’ve got to heal you in time
|
| I want to hold on
|
| To all that you are for longer
|
| But I can feel you changing as we age
|
| Although the way that you were
|
| Isn’t the way you will be
|
| I’ll keep hoping I can make you fine
|
| And heal you in time, in time, in time
|
| Heal you in time, in time, in time |
