Debris - Michelle Malone

Kids, they watch everything you do

Kids, they grow up to be like you

When your daddy left you standing there

Kid, then you learned to disappear

You built a wall between you and the world

You thought it could protect you from the hurt

If you’re lonely, come lay down with me

If you’re tired, baby, we can just go to sleep

You don’t have to stand alone in your debris

Spark, a memory burning in your mind

Birthmark, parents fighting all the time

You drown, turning up the radio

Shot down, looking for someone to hold you

When you were fifteen, you ran from home

Don’t you think it’s time to let your childhood go

If you’re lonely, come lay down with me

If you’re tired, baby, we can just go to sleep

You don’t have to stand alone in your debris

If you’re thirsty, you can drink from my cup

If you get scared, you know I’ll back you up

You don’t have to stand alone in your debris

Lay down your guns and set your spirit free

And know that you are loved and love is all you need

You built a wall between you and the world

Don’t you think it’s time to let your childhood go

If you’re lonely, come lay down with me

If you’re tired, baby, we can just go to sleep

You don’t have to stand alone in your debris

If you’re thirsty, you can drink from my cup

If you get scared, you know I’ll back you up

You don’t have to stand alone in your debris
