I was a kid, I didn't know
What was normal inside that home
I stayed quiet, I stayed low
I learned early on my own
I learned how to stay small
How to freeze when I heard the walls
How to never ask at all
How to disappear down the hall
I was a kid
I needed someone (mm-mm)
I was a kid
Nobody come (mm-mm)
I didn't get saved
I didn't get told
I didn't get comfort
I learned control
Now I don't rest, I stay alert
Peace feels fake, like it could hurt
Every room, I count the doors
Every call feels like before
When someone's close, I pull away
I don't believe the words they say
I learned the hard way what to hold
You don't feel warm when you grow cold
I was a kid
I didn't need much (mm-mm)
I was a kid
I just needed one
I didn't get saved (mm-mm)
I didn't get told (mm-mm)
I didn't get comfort
I learned control
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
I was a kid (mm-mm)
Nobody come (mm-mm)
Nobody come
