I Miss Being Young

i miss being young

i miss being cared for and shown love

i remember you stayed up playing with my hair

'til my innocent tired eyes closed

i remember you playing with me and letting me win

as you have yet to teach me that winning isn't the goal

i remember i told you everything

i used to sit with you and tell you what's going on in my life

who has hurt me and who has stolen my toys

i miss being young

as now we sit in silence with the radio up full

as you take me to school

we don't talk like we used to do

i realised there is no time in our busy adult lives

but i see you always try find a way to make time for me

i can see that you're tired, life is getting too difficult for you

so i'll swap roles with you, i'll take care of you and show you

my love, as after all, you raised me and helped me get through

everything, now it's my turn

i'll take care of you till the end, i promise

i miss being young

and seeing my mother happy
