[Lyric] Like a Child (Anna Owens)

Sometimes I question the authority
Why I believe what I believe
Finding myself running into the same wall
Over and over again

Keeping quiet for the image of propriety
For the sake of making others happy
And my own words get trapped behind my lips

Because the shame and the regret
All the things that I thought, but never said
Walking ‘round with a weight like that
Will burn a hole in your chest

But I still feel like a child when I cry
Still feel foolish when I еxplain why
When nobody seems to understand
I still feel like a child whеn I try
There’s no need to deny, who I am inside
They’ll just have to understand
Doubting the way that I think
Strangled by the grips of anxiety
But I will saw off any chains that dare to hold me

And if He molded the way I think
And if I still have lungs to breathe
But if God made me a mouth then I will speak

Because the shame and the regret
All the things that I thought, but never said
Walking ‘round with a weight like that
Will burn a hole in your chest

But I still feel like a child when I cry
Still feel foolish when I explain why
When nobody seems to understand
I still feel like a child when I try
There’s no need to deny, who I am inside
They’ll just have to understand

Speak your mind
You’ll speak yours
And I’ll speak mine
