Lyrics:
parents are children
parents are children and
parents were children
all of the time
parents they made us, and
they tried to raise us but
parents betrayed us
even when they tried.
they held us
close and dear
and told us lies that they’d been
telling themselves for years
they’ll suffocate me so I’ll
hold myself now
I have to
hold myself now
no choice of when and I don’t know how
but I will
hold myself now
child I won't have you
I cannot have you
child I won’t have you and I'm telling you why
I cannot mend this
I have to end this
I can’t pretend without a break inside
I’ll hold you close and dear
I’ll tell you lies that I’ve been telling myself for years
I’ll suffocate you so you
hold yourself now
you have to
hold yourself now
no choice of when and who knows how
but you will
hold yourself now
we all have doubt
we all have rage
we all have trouble being brave enough to turn the page
but we will
hold ourselves now
yes we will
hold ourselves now
no choice of when
and who knows how
but we must
hold ourselves now
hold ourselves now
yes we will
hold ourselves now
no choice of when
and we are learning how
so we will
hold ourselves now
we all have doubt
we all have rage
we all have trouble being brave enough to turn the page
