L e s t - I Had a Child When I Was Younger Lyrics

I had a child when I was younger
I saw that tears were all she liked
I did not know why one would linger
In a puddle of self-sacrifice
She liked to cry for no good reason
But she would smile at every child
That felt neglected
Felt rejected
Felt that people had left them behind
Oh she tried
And she did not know how to handle
What her own heart couldn't do
Taking burdens off the others
Shushing fires and turning blue
I had a child when I was younger
She felt the world had to be saved
She felt the need to keep on praying
Getting closer to heavens gates
She kept on reading different verses,
Telling herself she would grow
She would grow by doing
What all of the others told her to do
Oh and she tried
Oh she tried
She saw that glass was always broken
People always fell apart
And the glue she used to fix the others
Was made of hope
And parts of her own heart
Oh she tried
And she did not know how to handle
What her own heart couldn't do
Taking burdens off the others
Shushing fires and turning blue
Turning blue
