[Verse 1]
You said you weren't afraid
Said you were ready to run away
After your mother said no
You were too young to have it your way
You cursed her under your breath
Bruised yourself just to be misbehave
But tell me, what’d you expect?
She only wanted to keep you safe

[Chorus]
But don't you know by now?
Don't you know by now?
Don’t you know by now
You'll always be a child

[Verse 2]
Came the day she let you go
You've been waiting your whole life for this moment
And all she wants to know
Is if you're ever coming home
Now everything's breaking (Everything's breaking)
You're losing the games you're not even playing
But you don’t want to say it
That you miss the way she used to hold you

[Bridge]
So don’t you say you're not afraid of anything
I see the way you shake, you’re scared to lose him
Don't you say you're not afraid of anything
You see, it's all the same

[Chorus]
So don’t you know by now?
Don't you know by now?
Don't you know by now
You'll always be a child

[Outro]
I am going to the new party
I am going to the new party
