As a Child lyrics

Let me just tell you I really should go back to sleep It's not that I'm ungrateful I have too many memories to keep I wish you could feel just how heavy I am all the time Sometimes when I smile I bite my lip so I don't cry And it burns For a while And it hurts all the more When you carry the world As a child All that I've wanted Is to talk to someone who is dead But unfortunately I can't call him So I sing instead Though I'd never tell you to cover yourself in a lie But I will still bite my lip harder so that I don't cry And it burns For a while And it hurts all the more When you carry the world As a child And I burn For myself 'Cause I know That I should When it's screaming at me to be felt And we burn All the time 'Cause it hurts all the more When we carry the world As a child
