[Lyric] High and Thriving (Vincent Draper)

I hid all of my darkness in the corner behind the truth
And I swept up all of my fears, brushed them neatly under the rug
I didn’t dare to cast my shadow o’er the delicate light of your heart
I never lied to you, but honey, I wasn’t honest

I want you angry and fighting
I want you kicking out and biting
I want you torn and I want you frightened
I want you crying on the phone to your mom

I want you mad and I want you smiling
I want you high and I want you thriving
I want you cursing my name in the silence
I want every piece of you

You buried your pain so deeply in the yard in front of our home
And I parked my car just beside it, walked up thе drive to the door
You smiled likе nothing had happened and welcomed me into your arms
You never lied to me, but honey, you weren’t honest

I want you angry and fighting
I want you kicking out and biting
I want you torn and I want you frightened
I want you crying on the phone to your mom
I want your fierce and I want your stubborn
I want your fire and I want your smoldering
I want the lines on your face when we’re older
I want every piece of you
