A Child Believes

I don't remember when I got cold
It was when he would lay into me
Told that your worthless from five years old
Is it part of your destiny

He's standing next to me
I cannot breath
When will I have the guts to leave?

Runaway from all that is sacred
Escaping the shadow over me
Runaway, you'll never make it
It's all that a child believes

I don't remember when I felt warm
I was never quite good enough
I only wanted the simple things
Like being told you were loved

He's still supporting me
But where's the faith
Looking in his eyes I sense his hate

Runaway from all that is sacred
Escaping the shadow over me
Runaway
(Runaway, runaway, runaway)

Runaway from all that is sacred
Escaping the shadow over me
Runaway, you'll never make it
It's all that a child believes

I never cry for sadness
I cut off from the pain
I won't forget your madness
But I'll forgive you anyway
But I'll forgive you anyway

He's standing next to me
I cannot breathe
When will I have the guts to leave

Runaway from all that is sacred
Escaping the shadow over me
Runaway
(Runaway, runaway, runaway)

You'll never make it
It's all that a child believes
