Child Lyrics by Tan Ping Wei

Child

2023

[Chorus]
I met our mutual friend
And it taught me everything I needed
But when we shook our hands
I struck a deal with it unknowingly
So it took away the child in me

[Verse 1]
I knew since I was very young
That some things were deeper than it seemed
They thought that I would never understand
So they left me alone bare feet

[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to dive down into the sea
Almost took me out and lost my wings
Now they'll never see me the same way again
'Cause I've changed
Thеy're having the time of thеir lives
Telling me about the dreams they've had
Now they'll never see me the same way again
'Cause I've changed

[Chorus]
I met our mutual friend
And it taught me everything I needed
But when we shook our hands
I struck a deal with it unknowingly
So it took away the child in me

[Verse 2]
Don't lie 'cause I've been here before
Your webs will never be strong enough
Had to learn how to fight for myself
'Cause you gave up and I couldn't turn back

[Chorus]
I met our mutual friend
And it taught me everything I needed
But when we shook our hands
I struck a deal with it unknowingly
So it took away the child in me
