My fingers started aching when the sky turned
My teeth and my knees dull, oh how my stars burned
You left my window wide open, and it's cold
Your voice cracked in my ears as you watched me unfold
I am so young, now
And sometimes I get scared
I feel so small, here
So lay me down, lay with me
My guilt follows me and I swallow it down
The ghosts in my head beat in every old town
My words echo slowly as I begin
“Forgive me, forgive me, for I have sinned”
And lord knows I'm still
A child
I feel so small, here
So lay me down, lay with me
And when I struck
I know you hurt like hell
I carry your heart
And I'm far from well
And when I struck
I hope you felt my eyes
Hear me, hear me now
I beg for your light
Let me take back my hands
Fill them with my love
They never belonged in anger
You should know
