Hey turtle boy,
Avoiding harm.
You've grown a hardened shell,
You're learning by example.
Just because
I pushed away,
That doesn't mean that much.
I just seem to work that way.
You taught me how to be
Protected too.
And how to cover my feelings,
The way you seem to do.
I learned a lot from you.
I learned a lot from you.
Hey turtle boy,
Where have you gone?
It's starting to bring you down,
You're going undercover.
I'm pushing you off,
I just couldn't resist.
And I recall sometimes,
I didn't always act like this.
You taught me how to be
Protected too.
And how to cover my feelings,
The way you seem to do.
I learned a lot from you.
I learned a lot from you.
I learned it far too soon.
