He was my reason to exist
And not so many years ago, he still could not resist
And it was spring, and we were young
But all things change
And then the summer slipped away for good
He was my man, he was my child
And when he slept upon my breast
My only thoughts of him were kind, and I shut out the rest
And it was autumn all to soon, and his star rose
It stays with me, the way he smiled
As years go by
He is a man, he is a child
But where am I?
Time's a vandal, but my blood's running red
Though he thinks it has cooled in my veins, it's still flowing
I can handle what goes on in my head
But my feelings, they take me wherever they're going
God, tell me, why did you have to create him cruel and deceitful?
Please make me hate him
He is a man, he is a child
And when he slept upon my breast
My only thoughts of him were kind, and I shut out the rest
And it is winter all too soon, and I am cold, so cold
And I will long for what we were
Until I die
He is a man, he is a child
But who am I?
