All These Things - Benton Falls
I promise you all won't fall down
I promise you all won't skin my knee
Like you promised you'd always
Be around
Take care of me
And I remember you standing behind
A white picket fence with a white peaked face
Trying hard to embrace my youth
Before it escapes before its too late
And clutching the fence she said
How have I hurt you What have I done
Did I desert you
Or spite with my tongue
Was I too eager
Or loved you too much
I love you too much
Now that I'm all grown
I'm feeling so alone
Why have you brought me here
Now that I'm all grown
I'm feeling so alone
Why have you brought me here
You say all these things I say
But It's not the same
I'm feeling so alone today all I know
I'll ice my thoughts I'll ice my mind for now
It's not your fault
You did what you could do
For this I will love you for always
You hold my heart
And my tiny hand
Thank you for all these things
