Jessilyn - I Was a Child

I was
Just a kid
Just a kid
Just a kid
Oh I was
Just a kid
Just a kid
Just a kid
Trying to live

I'm certain I'll be dyin kinda young
Not a kid
But never old enough to do what I should have done
I'll be waiting for somebody whose hand I'll never hold
Man I wish that I was gonna grow old

I'm either gonna keep getting older
Or I'm gonna die
And if I'm honest
I'd rather it be on my own time
Keep getting stronger
Or I'm gonna hide
The shadow's growing
Wish I could be on my own side

I'm worried I won't make it very long
Having trouble keeping up
And I always get it wrong
I'll be scared to make an entrance
For fear I'll be too bold
Man I wish that I was gonna grow old

Oh, when I was a child
When I was a kid
Nobody told me I'd make it
Now I'm all grown
I'm freaking out
All of the feelings I kept shutting down
Are swarming
And I can't keep them under the bed
It's a bit alarming
Keeping up with a losing bet

I'm either gonna keep getting older
Or I'm gonna die
And if I'm honest
I'd rather it be on my own time
Keep getting stronger
Or I'm gonna hide
The shadow's growing
Wish I could be on my own side

And I still feel a child
Still feel like a kid
Desperately longing for happiness
Trying to cope
Trying to heal
Wishing that monsters were not real

Oh I was
Just a kid
Just a kid
Just a kid
Oh I was
Just a kid
Just a kid
Just a kid
Trying to live
