AS A YOUNG CHILD
AS A YOUNG CHILD
I SPENT ENDLESS NIGHTS THINKING OF YOU
AS I STARED OUT MY BEDROOM WINDOW
THINKING BACK ON HOW OUR FRIENDSHIP WAS SO TRUE.
I WOULD SOMETIMES CRY AT NIGHT
JUST TO EXPRESS THE ANGER
THAT I KEPT HIDDEN INSIDE MY HEART
AS I SHED A SILENT TEAR
NOW THAT YOU AND I ARE NOW APART.
YOU WERE MY COUSIN
AS WELL AS MY BEST FRIEND,
BUT NOW THAT YOU'RE GONE
I'M NOT SURE IF MY BROKEN HEART WILL EVER MEND.
AS A YOUNG CHILD
WE HAD SO MANY DREAMS
THAT JUST SEEMED TO SLIP AWAY
AS I LOOKED TO THE HEAVENS UP ABOVE
THINKING BACK ON THE WORDS YOU USE TO SAY.
YOU WOULD STRIVE TO DO YOUR BEST
AND INSTILLED IN ME TO DO THE SAME,
BUT WITHOUT YOUR LOVE AND CONCERN
I FEEL AS I'M THE ONE TO BLAME.
I ONLY FEEL THIS WAY
BECAUSE YOU'RE NO LONGER BY MY SIDE
AND AS I LOOK TO THE HEAVENS UP ABOVE
I TEND TO SEE AN ANGEL IN DISGUISE.
