Child of Divorce Lyrics by Kate Miller-Heidke

Child in Reverse

2020

[Verse 1]
I am the child of divorce
I am the anxious heart
I threw the good stuff away
Just kept the poison part
I will fall, I will fall right to the bottom of this all
I am the, I am the, I am the child of divorce
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep on sailing, sailing
To get to you
You keep on waiting, waiting
Well here's the truth
[Chorus]
I am the, I am the, I am the child of divorce
I pay the, I pay the, pay the unfortunate cost
The river, white water, I'm still not safely across
I am the, I am the, I'm still the child of divorce
[Verse 2]
I am a child in reverse
I am a fallen tree
No longer part of the earth
Lost in the open sea
I don't trust, I don't trust anything to be what it seems
I am a, I am a, I am a child in reverse
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep on sailing, sailing to get to you
You keep on waiting, waiting
Well here's the truth
[Chorus]
I am the, I am the, I am the child of divorce
I pay the, I pay the, pay the unfortunate cost
The river, white water, I'm still not safely across
I am the, I am the, I'm still the child of divorce
[Verse 3]
Hold on, hold on
Sometimes I need you to just
Hold on, hold on
Be patient with me, and help me
Hold on, hold on
I still believe in what we could become
[Bridge]
I am not that child anymore
But sometimes I want to crawl up on your lap and cry like a baby
[Verse 4]
Hold on, hold on
Sometimes I need you to just
Hold on, hold on
Be patient with me, and help me
Hold on, hold on
I still believe in what we could become
[Outro]
It's something better than what we are from
(The river, white water)
I still believe in what we could become
(The river, white water)
It's so much better than what we are from
(The river, white water)
It's so much better than what we are from
(The river, white water)
It's so much better than what we are from
