lyrics

Have you ever realised how you influence a child?
don't underestimate, they can read between the lines
you can fool them with your words or comforting smiles
no kiss on the cheek can prevent them to see.

I think my fears might stem from you
all my life i've been watching what you do
...you've been living with your foot on the brakes
cause one mistake is all that it takes

You lock your door, you lock your heart
you lock your car, you think it smart
to keep the wild wind from blowing in
prevent the madness from touching skin

Just like a flower that never fully bloomed
you never opened up, you never even danced
no, you didn't want to give it a chance
because you might not control yourself

I think my fears might stem from you
all my life i've been watching what you do
...I've been living with my foot on the brakes
cause one mistake is all that it takes

You told me last night you had a dream
we were dancing with the whole family
Even the ones we never see no more
were laughing like they never did before.
