My Roots

You live in this room, right? Mmhm
What do you have here? You have a
Bed, you have books uhm, bears, giraffes
Lambs not cheap but in this room
You have a doorto the other side
See? Light comes through it's open
Just a tiny bit, but it is open
You keep trying to close that
Door because your scared
But you won't always be scared

It's like the more I try
The more I seem to be alone
It's like the more you say
The more I believe there's no home
You would look me in the eye
While making up a lie to pretend
That these things were alright
But I know it wasn't what you intend

But I was only five years old
Alone and scared to grow up old
(Alone) maybe it's too early
Or maybe it's too late
(No home) maybe she's not hungry
Are you counting her intake?
(Alone) maybe she's depressed or
Maybe it's a phase
(No home) maybe it's just something
That we can't explain

It's like the more I try
The more I seem to be alone
It's like the more you say
The more I believe there's no home
You would look me in the eye
While making up a lie to pretend
That these things were alright
But I know it wasn't what you intend

Watching patterns on my wall
I wonder when I'll find my home
(Alone) maybe it's too early
Or maybe it's too late
(No home) maybe she's just struggling
Are you watching how she plays?
(Alone) maybe she's depressed or
Maybe it's a phase
(No home) maybe it's just something
That we can't explain

It's like the more I try
The more I seem to be alone
It's like the more you say
The more I believe there's no home
You would look me in the eye
While making up a lie to pretend
That these things were alright
But I know it wasn't what you intend

But in this room
You have a doorto the other side
See? Light comes through it's open
Just a tiny bit, but it is open
You keep trying to close that
Door because your scared
But you won't always be scared
