Amatoyosi - Searching for Answers Lyrics

I remember evenings, playing on the floor
Unaware of the world, no burdens to explore
My eyes full of wonder, so innocent and free
But your words sometimes felt like they were hurting me
Why don't you understand? Why do you drift away
I just wanted your smile to brighten my day
Sometimes the world feels so cold and strange
When in your arms I can't find the same
I'm just a child searching for answers
Trying to grasp why you get angry sometimes
If love is as big as you always say
Why does it feel like you're pushing away
Mom, dad, why is it so hard
Are you struggling too in your heart
I wanna grow up, but without losing
The bond that we share, I wanna keep choosing
In the dark of night when you're not there
I wonder if you'll leave if you still care
The fear creeps in beneath my door
And in my small mind it starts to roar
Why don't you understand? Why do you drift away
I just wanted your smile to brighten my day
Sometimes the world feels so cold and strange
When in your arms I can't find the same
I'm just a child searching for answers
Trying to grasp why you get angry sometimes
If love is as big as you always say
Why does it feel like you're pushing away
Mom, dad, why is it so hard
Are you struggling too in your heart
I wanna grow up, but without losing
The bond that we share, I wanna keep choosing
In the dark of night when you're not there
I wonder if you'll leave if you still care
The fear creeps in beneath my door
And in my small mind it starts to roar
Maybe someday when I'm older and wise
I'll understand your fear, see through your eyes
But for now I just wanna love and learn from you
Without feeling unloved
I'm just a child searching for answers
Trying to grasp why you get angry sometimes
If love is as big as you always say
Why does it feel like you're pushing away
Dad, I know it's not easy
But in your arms I want to find
The refuge I've always sought
As we learn together how to love a lot
