[Verse 1]
They say skin on skin helps babies bond
Did you hold me wrong?
I don't think you did, was I always like this?
I don't think I can love like anybody wants

[Verse 2]
To crave something you hate
Touch me right, it's too late
I don't understand, no one holds my hand
Like she used to

[Pre-Chorus]
You said you'd love me to death
But now that death's come
Has it come to an end
All of your love for me?

[Chorus]
I'm craving, just aching
To be carried upstairs to bed
To be a child, to be looked after right
To be small enough to be cradled again

[Verse 3]
The only thing that holds me now
Like she used to, is thе ground
As I lay among the weeds, the grass it cradles mе
And I could fall into the earth if it meant I could be with her
[Pre-Chorus]
You said you'd love me to death
But now that death's come
Has it come to an end
All of your love for me?

[Chorus]
I'm craving, just aching
To be carried upstairs to bed
To be a child, to be looked after right
To be small enough to be cradled again

[Outro]
Aah-aah, ooh-hoo
Aah-aah, ohh-ohh
