Being Someone's Kid Lyrics

For someone who cries as much as I do

I often have been told

That I'm not very comforting

My blood's a little cold

Cold, cold

I think I get this from my dad

Carved out of empathetic stone

Does he tell all his feelings to my mom when they're alone?

Alone alone

For me

He simply listens

And feels what I feel

For me he simply listens and feels what I feel

But if I'm like him

And I know I am

And I cry all the time

Is it just because he's a man

He feels he has to keep it all inside

Inside

Inside?

Or does he tell me his feelings all the time

And I'm not listening

Or he would if I asked

And I don't ever ask

And that's just being someone's kid

For me he listens

And feels what I feel

For me

He simply listens

And feels what I feel

My expectations

Are all over the place

I like believing

he'll be the one to fix the things

that hurt me but

I'm seeing more in every phone call

I'm an adult

And we're more alike than we've ever been

I wonder how anxious

I wonder how anxious he gets

I wonder how anxious

But I don't want to know
