When I was a child Lyrics

When I was a child

I was not allowed

To cry

Thought it was okay

Thought it was a way

To smile

Papa always said

Don't you ever dare

To try

I know I was loved

Guess I understand it

Now

When I was a child

I was not allowed

To cry

Don't know how to now

I was not taught how

To cry

My daddy came home

Though we wouldn't know

The time

I know I was loved

Guess I understand it

Now

Now I can never show my feelings

Never allow myself of breathing


I don't know how to let this go

I don't know how to lose control

Drawn to a better life acoming

None of the things that I was taking

Came up to how much I was giving

Maybe now you know why I'm singing

When I was a child

I was not allowed

To cry

Thought it was okay

Thought it was a way

To smile

Papa always said

Don't you ever dare

To try

I know I was loved

Guess I understand it

Now

I know I was loved

Guess I understand it

Now

I know I was loved

Guess I understand

Somehow
