- chel Songtext
von Adema

True, I wasn′t there for you
Sorry that I hurt you deeply
Too young to know what to do
Sixteen and I had no worries
When I saw that picture of you
I had to find the daughter I never knew

My absence grows
I reap what I've sown
These mistakes are my own
Little child, you′re not alone

Locked behind those bars, you bloom
Wish there was a way I could help you
Too young to know what to do
Lessons learned, he points you through
This love is complicated and bruised
Realize what makes me makes you


My absence grows
I reap what I've sown
These mistakes are my own
Little child, you're not alone

Time to take it slow
All this anger, let it go
My child, I long to hold
All this anger

I know I′m not a lot
I was never a saint
Gotta take what you got
′Cause I'm nothing you ain′t
If I gave you the world
Would you throw it away?
Better keep your chin up
(Live your life for today)
You can abuse it
You can misuse it
You can go right back down that line
(Live your life for today)
Can you escape it?
Never erase it
Now you know


I'll be here, your future′s fading
Understand what I'm explaining
I′m waiting, anticipating
I'll be here, your future's fading

My absence grows
I reap what I′ve sown
These mistakes are my own
Little child, you′re not alone

Time to take it slow
All this anger, let it go
My child, I long to hold
All this anger, let it go
Little one, can't you see?
I wanna let you know
Don′t you be like me
