Secret Growing

Came into a clearing

Last one to see you alive and well

They come back, oh, they do

Overcompensating, it's tried and true

You can't be yourself

You let your family and others step over you

Tell them it's not their time, this time

Look the child in the eye, say, "You matter too"

I know how to love you now

Wasn't about when or how

I know how to love you now

Wasn't about when or how

I was just sleeping

Six years old, family loud downstairs

Drunk on wine

I kept one eye on the ceiling

He stole my time

Here you are after ages

Hardest work is to not rehearse the lines

They come back, oh, they do

I know how to love you now

Wasn't about when or how

I know how to love you now

Wasn't about when or how

Asked, "Can you take me this way?"

And you say, "Course, I can"

Asked, "Can you take me this way?"

And you say, "Course, I can"

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh
