lyrics

I never loved him
so much as when he was weak
the squeeze in his fingers
the smile in his cheek

i never know what it was to love another
until he couldn't love me
when he was dependent
I was totally free

I was just one thing
in the land of his stare
he would wake all the while in the night
are you there are you there

i never thought about the other side
about a life full of time
it was never a question
this decision was mine

but kids as young as eleven
leaving homework undone
isn't it shocking
something ought to be done

who reaches to measure
a life that's lived well
one person's horizon's
too private to tell

but now I go out early in the morning sun
to taste it's mystery
I wasn't looking
he gave that to me

but kids as young as eleven
leaving homework undone
isn't it shocking
something ought to be done

I don't know how to lie
i'm telling you the truth
when I came home late he'd cry
I don't know what if I'm honest
but it sounded the roof

but kids as young as eleven
leaving homework undone
isn't it shocking
something ought to be done
