Golden Child
I gave birth to the light of my life
When I was dead inside
How such joy could have grown and survived
I will never know
There I was in the darkest of nights
I have no control
Planted seed rose through cracks in the concrete
Made my broken house your home
And you were whole
When I was nothing but a shell
And you were golden
While I was trying to line our fate with silver
Old lies
Were telling me that I would ruin you
If I tried
Oh if I had tried to be what you needed
Casting shadows wherever I go
Quiet memories
Mark me down as the one you don't know
Gave you everything
Here I go still can't turn on the lights
Miss you every day
First mom problems my pain is in vain
After all it was the choice I made
And oh
I'm still nothing but a shell
And you are golden
While I'm still trying to line my fate with silver
Old lies
Still telling me that I would ruin you
If I tried
Oh if I had tried to be what you needed
Baby girl you're the light of my life
Never question that
Twice a year isn't nearly enough
But we'll make the plans
Give my love to your mother and father
Your new family
I'll be watching you grow from the shadows
Though it's killing me
But you are home
And you are loved by everyone around you
Golden
Oh you are golden child
When I was dead inside
How such joy could have grown and survived
I will never know
There I was in the darkest of nights
I have no control
Planted seed rose through cracks in the concrete
Made my broken house your home
And you were whole
When I was nothing but a shell
And you were golden
While I was trying to line our fate with silver
Old lies
Were telling me that I would ruin you
If I tried
Oh if I had tried to be what you needed
Casting shadows wherever I go
Quiet memories
Mark me down as the one you don't know
Gave you everything
Here I go still can't turn on the lights
Miss you every day
First mom problems my pain is in vain
After all it was the choice I made
And oh
I'm still nothing but a shell
And you are golden
While I'm still trying to line my fate with silver
Old lies
Still telling me that I would ruin you
If I tried
Oh if I had tried to be what you needed
Baby girl you're the light of my life
Never question that
Twice a year isn't nearly enough
But we'll make the plans
Give my love to your mother and father
Your new family
I'll be watching you grow from the shadows
Though it's killing me
But you are home
And you are loved by everyone around you
Golden
Oh you are golden child
