Please don't speak the words I need to hear
I'm not ready for it yet
And please don't say the words you say are true
Because I would have to learn to forget
Can you see can you see what I tried to be
Something good something pure what's become of me
Can you see can you see what I tried to be
Yet this is me
Lay me down
Take me out
Lay me down - down
Please don't treat me like the child I am
Some things I need to retain
And please don't take them seriously now
Promises - an act to keep me sane
Can you see can you see what I tried to be
Something good something pure what's become of me
Can you see can you see what I tried to be
Yet this is me
Lay me down
Take me out
Lay me down - down
Choices made never cease to suppress life today
Let them fade into sullen darkness - far away
Let it go before you disappear completely
