Keep Me Safe Lyrics

I stand in front of a mirror

Dragged a stool so I could hold the sides

Downstairs I'm lost I start to shimmer

But in here I see I'm in my eyes

Why do they treat me like an adult

When I see a beautiful child

Why do they make me feel I'm crazy

When the craziness lives outside

Nan needs me to look pretty

Granny drinking gets me lonely some times

Dad wants to be left in his study

Mum needs me feeling her feelings every time

And her friend thinks I'm to blame

For what she fears for her child

She'll take me to one side

Mum lets her anger run wild

Keep me safe

I'm scared I'm being watched all the time

Keep me safe

They all want me different to the version I am

Takes a village to raise a child

But mine is struggling

Now I'm in adult life

Living like a child

At school they're telling on my brother

Say he's mean to them and unkind

Dad sends him upstairs from our dinners

When he's hurt from missing you dad all the time

And you're all doing your best

And I love you and you're mine

But I'd rather play outside

I hate it when its home time

Keep me safe

I'm being controlled all the time

Keep me safe

They all want me different to the version I am

Takes a village to raise a child

But mine is struggling

Now I'm in adult life

No one is coming
