Long enough to know
If I ever was a child
I was tied up like a boat
On a button like a coat
Set free for the wild
I'd jump to jolt my clumsy blood
While my white, green eyes
Cry like a windowpane
Can my cold heart change
Even out of spite?
I saw
Behind my brain
A haunted stain
It never fades
I hunt
For the kind of pain
I can take
And I cry like a windowpane
Can my cold heart change
Overnight?
So I won't ever want to touch
Your heart too much
Or hold you too tight
I saw
Behind my brain
A haunted stain
It never fades
I hunt
For the kind of pain
I can take
I never was alone
Long enough to know
If I ever was a child
I've never been alone Long enough to know If I ever was a child I was tied up like a boat On a button like a coat Set free for the wild I'd jump to jolt my clumsy blood While my white, green eyes Cry like a windowpane Can my cold heart change Even out of spite? I saw Behind my brain A haunted stain It never fades I hunt For the kind of pain I can take And I cry like a windowpane Can my cold heart change Overnight? So I won't ever want to touch Your heart too much Or hold you too tight I saw Behind my brain A haunted stain It never fades I hunt For the kind of pain I can take I never was alone Long enough to know If I ever was a child Explain Request ×
