My Heart, My Anchor - When I Was Younger
from Save Face // My Heart, My Anchor by Save Face // My Heart, My Anchor
lyrics
When I was younger, my father taught me how to stand. He told me "plant your feet, I'll hold your hands."
Got lost in the sky, as I was sorting through the clutter in my mind. Face my struggles, face my fears, and all the pain throughout the years won't get the best of me. No, not the best of me.
So now I'm older, the world got colder and misplaced. I wish I could've had you for just one more day. I had to learn on my own (all) the things you wish you could have shown. Never thought I would make it all alone.
I watched the world burn. When I let you slip away from me, I failed to realize how hard growing up would be. Wherever you are, I hope you're smiling down on me. Wherever you are, I hope you're happy.
When I was younger, my father taught me how to stand. He told me "plant your feet, I'll hold your hands."
Got lost in the sky, as I was sorting through the clutter in my mind. Face my struggles, face my fears, and all the pain throughout the years won't get the best of me. No, not the best of me.
So now I'm older, the world got colder and misplaced. I wish I could've had you for just one more day. I had to learn on my own (all) the things you wish you could have shown. Never thought I would make it all alone.
I watched the world burn. When I let you slip away from me, I failed to realize how hard growing up would be. Wherever you are, I hope you're smiling down on me. Wherever you are, I hope you're happy.
When I was younger, my father taught me how to stand. He told me "plant your feet, I'll hold your hands."
