Find Your Peace (When You Go) Lyrics

Ooh

Your parents brought you up just as best as they could

How could they have known that you'd want to be understood

Just a child, not a person yet

How could they have known that you'd want to be heard

Maybe they'd have listened if you spoke when it's your turn

But when is that or did they forget

And they'll ask you why

Why are you so distant

What happened to

My happy infant

You're gonna be a teen soon so have some fun

No not like that let them show you how it's done

You learn again it's not always worth the ask

You're supposed to be happy you're just a child

You must have forgot so you force yourself to smile

Now you know they prefer the mask

And they'll ask you why

Why are you so distant

What happened to

My happy infant

In time your joy

Will come with ease

You can disappoint your parents

To find your peace

You're going away soon, you just can't wait

But every day they put a little more on your plate

As if to say they'll miss you when you go

Maybe you should talk about the way you feel

But they were so dismissive every time you tried to be real

And they won't acknowledge the walls you know

The day you move out your mother cries

You think maybe once she'll just apologize

But you're wrong, these are selfish tears

I know you don't want them too see you cry

But it's time to learn to take up the space and time

That you should have been given as a child

And they'll ask you why

Why are you so distant

What happened to

My happy infant

In time your joy

Will come with ease

You can disappoint your parents

To find your peace

Find your peace

Ooh

Do not look me in the eye

All they can reflect is you

You will not find that which you seek

My heart or worse the truth

I cannot tell you why I cry

Or the consequence of youth

You've always known me to be meek

But happy?
