The Pretenders

Kid, what changed your mood,
You've gone all sad, so I feel sad too.
I think I know,
Some things you never outgrow.
You think it's wrong,
I can tell you do.
How can I explain,
You don't want me to.
Kid, my only kid.
Look so small, got so quiet,
I know you know
What I'm about, I won't deny it.
But you forgave what you don't understand.
You turned your head,
You dropped my hand.
All my sorrow, all my blues,
All my sorrow.
Shut me up, go away.
Fool of grace, you cover your face.
Kid, precious kid,
Your eyes are blue but you won't cry.
I know,
Angry tears are too dear, you won't let them go.
