As a Child

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 wanted is to talk to someone who is dead
But unfortunately I can't call him so I sing instead
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 shouldn't 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
