Lyrics:
I grew up too fast, skipping social scenes
for the weight of adult routines
Everyone thought I was good, I was strong
But no one asked me, how I got along.
Every red flag was too blurry to see,
All my love was spent fixing them, not me.
I drowned in silent screams and demands
My childhood hopes crushed by grown-up hands.
Deep down, I was screaming inside,
“Who’s gonna save me tonight?
Who’s gonna save me tonight yeah”
deep down, I was screaming inside
Yeah I was screaming
I dream one day they’ll see my soul,
Not the patchwork heart I stitch to be whole.
I’m burned and bruised, their needles bled my dry
Saw it in a Dolly Mag, it’s called parentified.
My inner child was traded for someone else
So I could only rely on myself.
Was a caregiver, my hands still small
Now I wonder, was I ever a kid at all.
My feelings were hidden like the secrets I kept
My depression whispered while the world slept.
The guilt weighed heavy I was tethered so tight
Caught between the past and the fight for light.
I dream one day they’ll see my soul,
Not the patchwork heart I stitch to be whole.
I’m burned and bruised, their needles bleed my dry
I saw it in a Dolly Mag, it’s called parentified.
I’m a heart that’s longing to be healed yeah
I'm a heart not just a shield yeah
I’m a heart that’s longing to be healed yeah
I'm a heart thats not just a shield yeah
I dream one day they’ll see my soul,
Not the patchwork heart I stitch to be whole.
I’m burned and bruised, their needles bleed my dry
I saw it in a Dolly Mag, it’s called parentified.
