Stevie Delacruz - Broken Child Lyrics

I know you've been trying
To hold up your guard and just forget
All the pain that they left
Its sad that you think I'm just like them
And now i am left with
The damage that your father did
When you were just a kid
I know its not easy to forgive
Wish you would have gave me some more time
Was hoping you would keep me in your life
Can't blame you for what you're feeling inside
I'd be the same if i just had your life
Broken child
Broken child
Broken child
Broken child
Trynna show thick skin
A closer look shows you're afraid
And all your transgressions and emptiness
Are covered up in tragic ways
The words "i love you"
Were never heard from your own mother
Could've helped you recover
Kills me knowing that im winning while your left out to suffer
Wish you would have gave me some more time
Was hoping you would keep me in your life
Can't blame you for what you're feeling inside
I'd be the same if i just had your life
Broken child
Broken child
Broken child
Broken child
I can see you're bleeding still
Could've saved ya, could've saved ya
If you'd let me take the wheel
Wouldn't trade ya, wouldn't trade ya
I know you were venting out
Shouldn't hate ya, shouldn't hate ya
Go ahead and just let it out
Just let it out
Broken child
Broken child
Broken child
Broken child
Broken child
Broken child
Broken child
Broken child
Broken child, you were my broken child

I know you've been trying
To hold up your guard and just forget
All the pain that they left
Its sad that you think I'm just like them
And now i am left with
The damage that your father did
When you were just a kid
I know its not easy to forgive
Wish you would have gave me some more time
Was hoping you would keep me in your life
Can't blame you for what you're feeling inside
I'd be the same if i just had your life
Broken child
Broken child
Broken child
Broken child
Trynna show thick skin
A closer look shows you're afraid
And all your transgressions and emptiness
Are covered up in tragic ways
The words "i love you"
Were never heard from your own mother
Could've helped you recover
Kills me knowing that im winning while your left out to suffer
Wish you would have gave me some more time
Was hoping you would keep me in your life
Can't blame you for what you're feeling inside
I'd be the same if i just had your life
Broken child
Broken child
Broken child
Broken child
I can see you're bleeding still
Could've saved ya, could've saved ya
If you'd let me take the wheel
Wouldn't trade ya, wouldn't trade ya
I know you were venting out
Shouldn't hate ya, shouldn't hate ya
Go ahead and just let it out
Just let it out
Broken child
Broken child
Broken child
Broken child
Broken child
Broken child
Broken child
Broken child
Broken child, you were my broken child
