Manchild Lyrics by Pony Up!

Stay Gold

2009

[Verse 1]
Down south
Where the earth is red
I got left behind
Now all my pretty hopes are dead
Why did you believe me
When I said all I do is lie?
Why would you care
When I told you
That I don't know how to cry?

[Chorus]
Hate me and curse me
Alone you rehearse for me
I will come first
For you-ou-ou-ou-ou
Try to undress me
The world is against me
And no one can save me
But you

[Verse 2]
I'm a manchild
Reaching out across the skies
I'm a manchild
With my eager open еyes
I'm a manchild
I must look terrified
I'm a manchild
And thеre's nowhere here for me
To hide

[Pre-Chorus]
Shush, shush, shush, shush
Little baby, growing old before your time
Shush, shush, shush
Little baby, growing old before your time
Shush, shush, shush
Little baby, growing old before your time
Shush, shush, shush
Little baby, growing old before your time
Shush, shush, shush
Little baby, growing old before your time
Shush, shush, shush
Little baby, growing old before your time

[Chorus]
Hate me and curse me
Alone you rehearse for me
I will come first
For you
Try to undress me
The world is against me
And no one can save me
But you-ou-ou
But you-ou-ou
