Hold Me

Don't hold me back, hold me
Leave me alone, don't leave me
Why don't you ever listen?
I'm growing up, I'm frightened
I want to run away, run away
From the teacups, from the tempers
the curtains, the curfews, the quilts and the questions

it's true, you begat me
So why don't you get me?
You see that I'm changing, so why don't you let me?
I need you to love me, I wish you didn't love me so much
You either neglect me or overprotect me
when all that I'm asking is that you respect me
You know that I love you

I wish I didn't love you so much

I have to make my way without you
to demonise and doubt you
But promise you'll leave a light on
A light in the hallway
Tuck me in and hold me and sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
