David Lyrics by ​cameron lane

2020

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I wish I was never eight
My reputation precedes me
Little monster, filled with hate
When I cry I receive no empathy
All the blame’s on me

[Pre-Chorus]
My silence is a siren
My exhaustion is violent
Is that what you want me to believe?

[Chorus]
You were supposed to carry me
Was I too heavy, or were you too weak?
We’re both half of who we should be
You were supposed to carry me
Above the crowd on steady shoulders
See we’re not so different, we
Sleep, when it’s over I can breathe

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I wish I hadn’t tried
To scream and shout my way out of it
Small baby david, filled with pride
But she’s too scared of goliath
Her slingshot’s broken

[Pre-Chorus]
Can always speak my mind, unless
I’m staring you down in defense
I give you more control each time I try to let you in

[Chorus]
You were supposed to carry me
Was I too heavy, or were you too weak?
We’re both half of who we should be
You were supposed to carry me
Above the crowd on steady shoulders
See, don’t want to hear you preach in your
Sleep, I’m crucified in my dreams

[Bridge]
I learned to never fight fair
‘cause I won’t get anywhere
If I try to talk it out
You go and talk me down
I learned I’ll always be small
Quiet and agreeable
I’ll be the perfect daughter
If I can keep my head above the water

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll be everything you want me to
Because I only live for you
To hold me up, so holy
So I just might see the view

[Chorus]
You were supposed to carry me
Was I too heavy, or were you too weak?
Using my sister’s name against me
You were supposed to carry me
Above the crowd on steady shoulders
See, I act accordingly and
Sleep, when it’s over I can breathe
