Child Of Divorce - Kate Miller-Heidke

I am the child of divorce

I am the anxious heart

I threw the good stuff away

Just kept the poison part

I will fall, I will fall right to the bottom of this all

I am the, I am the, I am the child of divorce

I keep on sailing, sailing

To get to you

You keep on waiting, waiting

Well here’s the truth

I am the, I am the, I am the child of divorce

I pay the, I pay the, pay the unfortunate cost

The river, white water, I’m still not safely across

I am the, I am the, I’m still the child of divorce

I am a child in reverse

I am a fallen tree

No longer part of the earth

Lost in the open sea

I don’t trust, I don’t trust anything to be what it seems

I am a, I am a, I am a child in reverse

I keep on sailing, sailing to get to you

You keep on waiting, waiting

Well here’s the truth

I am the, I am the, I am the child of divorce

I pay the, I pay the, pay the unfortunate cost

The river, white water, I’m still not safely across

I am the, I am the, I’m still the child of divorce

Hold on, hold on

Sometimes I need you to just

Hold on, hold on

Be patient with me, and help me

Hold on, hold on

I still believe in what we could become

I am not that child anymore

But sometimes I want to crawl up on your lap and cry like a baby

Hold on, hold on

Sometimes I need you to just

Hold on, hold on

Be patient with me, and help me

Hold on, hold on

I still believe in what we could become

It’s something better than what we are from

(The river, white water)

I still believe in what we could become

(The river, white water)

It’s so much better than what we are from

(The river, white water)

It’s so much better than what we are from

(The river, white water)

It’s so much better than what we are from
