Non-confrontational social awareness
For the sake of fairness, I'm saying it first
You've seen my body and that makes me nauseous
Overly cautious, and prone to complain
But I'm here like I always was
Older and wiser, better with time
Was it fair for a man of your age to seek comfort in mine?

Oh, to be a child
Wide-eyed and wild
Oh, to seek the love you gave and in return
A punch, a kick, a blow, a burn
That rolls right through your fingers to the touch 

Non-confrontational social awareness
And you'll never say it, so I'll say it first
If I was so bothersome, why did you keep me at arm's length?
Was it convenience? 
I cried to my sister that day in the car and I felt so pathetic 
I couldn't quite get close enough
But I doubt that it crosses your mind 

Oh, to be a child
Wide-eyed and wild
Oh, to seek the love you gave and in return
A punch, a kick, a blow, a burn
That rolls right through your fingers to the touch 

Could we address the elephant
It's better than indifference 
And I know that you're an adult, beloved by everyone you know
I could've said it all out loud
But it's too late, you got your crowd
And I swear sometimes I hope that you're okay
I wish that you'd have wondered the same 

Non-confrontational social awareness 
For the sake of fairness, I'm saying it first.
