Lyrics Debris - Michelle Malone

Debris

Kids, they watch everything you do
Kids, they grow up to be like you
When your daddy left you standing there
Kid, then you learned to disappear
You built a wall between you and the world
You thought it could protect you from the hurt
If you’re lonely, come lay down with me
If you’re tired, baby, we can just go to sleep
You don’t have to stand alone in your debris
Spark, a memory burning in your mind
Birthmark, parents fighting all the time
You drown, turning up the radio
Shot down, looking for someone to hold you
When you were fifteen, you ran from home
Don’t you think it’s time to let your childhood go
If you’re lonely, come lay down with me
If you’re tired, baby, we can just go to sleep
You don’t have to stand alone in your debris
If you’re thirsty, you can drink from my cup
If you get scared, you know I’ll back you up
You don’t have to stand alone in your debris
Lay down your guns and set your spirit free
And know that you are loved and love is all you need
You built a wall between you and the world
Don’t you think it’s time to let your childhood go
If you’re lonely, come lay down with me
If you’re tired, baby, we can just go to sleep
You don’t have to stand alone in your debris
If you’re thirsty, you can drink from my cup
If you get scared, you know I’ll back you up
You don’t have to stand alone in your debris
