Golden Child

Are you hesitant to say my name like it can't be trusted?
Do you think that everything's the same?
Like time went and dusted me off?
Look, I'm just like a chandelier
You put me up here to light your way
Now it's safe to say

That I never asked to be a voice
Or some spokesperson you give your money to
And don't you see I had no choice
Campaigns won't make my scars undo themselves
And now I'm running out of
Things to say to make you smile
Don't you see, I'll never be your
Golden child

Is it just so hard to watch me fall
Did my cry disturb your quiet
Does my hurt just stand too tall
A shadow cast on your island
Maybe I'm just too much like a mirror
Reflecting the tears you hide away
Now it's safe to say

That I never asked to be a voice
Or some spokesperson you give your money to
And don't you see I had no choice
Campaigns won't make my scars undo themselves
And now I'm running out of
Things to say to make you smile
Don't you see, I'll never be your
Golden child

Oh, in all the times you looked away
And waited for a pretty face
To tell you all the ways
That I've been cured
(I'll tell you all the ways)
Oh, in all the songs I left behind
They'd never tell the golden lie
That the poison that nearly killed me
Made me stronger
(No)

I never asked to be a voice
Or some spokesperson you give your money to
And don't you see I had no choice
Campaigns won't make my scars undo themselves
And now I'm running out of
Things to say to make you smile
Don't you see, I'll never be your
Golden child
