"a child believes" is about her father



I don't remember when I got cold

It was when he would lay into me

Told that your worthless from five years old

Is it part of your destiny

He's standing next to me

I cannot breath

When will I have the guts to leave? 



Chorus

Runaway

From all that is sacred

Escaping the shadows over me

Run away

You'll never make it

It's al that a child believes



I don't remember when I felt warm

I was never quite good enough

I only wanted the simple things

Like being told you were loved

He's still supporing me but where's the faith

Looking in his eyes I sense his hate



Repeat chorus



I never cry for sadness

I cut off from the pain

I won't forget your madness

But I'll forgive you anyway

But I'll forgive you anyway

He's standing next to me

I cannot breath

When will I have the quts to leave. repeat chorus
