We Were Children Once - LUNA VALE
Ooh
we were children
once
We used to ask too many questions
We used to laugh before we knew
that some rooms teach you to be quiet
and some years take the light from you
We used to cry without a reason
and sleep before the hurt got deep
Now we say we're doing better
with the same tired eyes for weeks
Who told us to hide so much
Who taught us to sound okay
I look at the person in the mirror
and miss the child in her face
We were children once
we did not come here already hard
We were children once
with open hands and easy hearts
If I am quiet now
it does not mean I have no love
I only miss the softer me
we were children once
We used to believe every promise
We used to run until the dark
Now we protect ourselves so carefully
we barely know where we are
I am not blaming growing older
I know it had to happen too
I only wish someone had told me
not to be so hard so soon
Maybe I can still remember
Maybe I can still come back
Not to the years I had already
but to the part of me I left
We were children once
we did not come here already hard
We were children once
with open hands and easy hearts
If I am quiet now
it does not mean I have no love
I only miss the softer me
we were children once
Let me forgive the younger me
for not knowing how life would go
Let me forgive the older me
for carrying more than she showed
We were children once
we did not come here already hard
We were children once
with open hands and easy hearts
If I am quiet now
it does not mean I have no love
I only miss the softer me
we were children once
Ooh
the softer me
we were children once
