I promise you all I won’t fall down   I promise you all I won’t skin my knee   Like you promised you’d always be around to take good care of me      And I remember you standing behind a white picket fence with a white peaked face   trying hard to embrace my youth   before it escapes, before its too late   and clutching the fence she said      “How have I hurt you, What have I done?”   “Did I desert you, or spite with my tongue?”   “Was I too eager, or loved you too much?”   I love you too much      Now that I’m all grown. I’m feeling so alone   Why have you brought me here?      You say all these things I say but It’s not the same   I’m feeling so alone today but all I know   I’ll ice my thoughts I’ll ice my mind for now      It’s not your fault, You did what you could do   For this I will love you, for always    you hold my tiny heart and my tiny hand   thank you for all these things
