Benton Falls — All These Things lyrics

Lyrics

I promise you all I won’t fall down
I promise you all I won’t skin my knee
Like you promised you’d always be around to take good care of me And I remember you standing behind a white picket fence with a white peaked face
trying hard to embrace my youth
before it escapes, before its too late
and clutching the fence she said
«How have I hurt you, What have I done?»
«Did I desert you, or spite with my tongue?»
«Was I too eager, or loved you too much?»
I love you too much
Now that I’m all grown. I’m feeling so alone
Why have you brought me here?
You say all these things I say but It’s not the same
I’m feeling so alone today but all I know
I’ll ice my thoughts I’ll ice my mind for now
It’s not your fault, You did what you could do For this I will love you, for always
you hold my tiny heart and my tiny hand
thank you for all these things
