Karaoké I Was a Kid Damon Price

I was a kid, I didn't know what was normal inside that home

I stayed quiet, I stayed low

I learned early on my own

I learned how to stay small

How to freeze when

I heard the walls

How to never ask at all

How to disappear down the hall

I was a kid

I needed someone

I was a kid

Nobody come

I didn't get saved

I didn't get told

I didn't get comfort

I learned control

Now I don't rest, I stay alert

Peace feels fake like it could hurt

Every room, I count the doors

Every call feels like before

When someone's close

I pull away

I don't believe the words they say

I learned the hard way what to hold

You don't feel warm when you grow cold

I was a kid

I didn't need much

I was a kid

I just needed one

I didn't get saved

I didn't get told

I didn't get comfort

I learned control

I was a kid

Nobody come

Nobody come
