Lonely Child

[Verse 1]
I don't want you to be alone
Lonely child like me
Lonely child who trusts no one
And finds it hard to breathe
I know you are on your own
No brothers and sisters in your home
You are the only one
But you don't have to be the lonely one

[Chorus]
Like I was raised to be
Like I was raised to be
Like I was raised to be

[Verse 2]
You're my perfection, my clean slate
My tabula rasa if you like
Oh, but birthdays seem so long ago
Some days are hanging by a thread
You wouldn't notice
You were meant to be
An angel playing in the dirt
In spite of all the hurt

[Chorus]
Like I was raised to be
Like I was meant to be

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
Like I was made to be
Like I was meant to be
Like I was raised to be
Like I was meant to be
Like I was made to be
Like I was raised to be
Like I was...
