I'm not a kid anymore
Well I wasn't before
I grew up on my own behind locked doors
My house was empty, no walls
The ceilings endlessly tall
And yet I felt I had no freedom at all
And they'd say
They'd come back for me one day
And they told me it was gonna be okay
And they'd lie
When they'd look me straight in the eyes
And they told me I had time to stay a child
For a while
I'd make a breakfast for two
Pretend to give it to you
My imaginary friend I never knew
A friendly face in the morning
Would often serve as a warning
For the party dress my mother would be adorning
And they'd say
They'd come back for me one day
And they told me it was gonna be okay
And they'd lie
When they'd look me straight in the eyes
And they told me I had time to stay a child
Sneaking out onto my roof at night
Hoping someday I might find
Something to believe in
The stars would help with grieving
So I'd stay
In my castle locked away
A prisoner for the remainder of my days
But at night
When the moon was shining bright
I told myself there was something just out of sight
Out of sight
