Some things, somethings I've always known
Grass is green and snow is cold
How can I keep you close, when all I've ever known
Is love will go, its how I've grown
Can we stay here
And be soft like rain
Cause I, I don't wanna push you away
I'm not gonna run anymore
When I'm under the weight of it all
I just wanna stay where you are
But I'm used to things falling apart
I don't wanna lose you like that
I don't wanna hurt you like that
What am I gonna live for
What and I even here for
Without you
Some things, some things I've always know
The stories told in the rings of an oak
And a child only grows where the roots can take hold
As they lean in to hope, towards light, towards home
Can we stay here
And be soft like rain
Cause I, I don't wanna push you away
I'm not gonna run anymore
When I'm under the weight of it all
I just wanna stay where you are
But I'm used to things falling apart
I don't wanna lose you like that
I don't wanna hurt you like that
What am I gonna live for
What and I even here for
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
Cause I could not sleep
For the secrets that were never mine to keep
They left me weak, down on my knees praying history won't repeat
Oh, I
I'm not gonna run anymore
When I'm under the weight of it all
I just wanna stay where you are
But I'm used to things falling apart
I don't wanna lose you like that
I don't wanna hurt you like that
What am I gonna live for
What am I gonna live for
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you

When I wrote this song I was thinking deeply and reflecting a lot on childhood and how, as we grow, not only do we carry our own trauma, but we also carry generational trauma which can have a profound effect on how we love and care for people.
The words ‘All I’ve Ever Known’ play into the idea that...
