Didn't wanna be a soldier
Wanted to be a child
Fall in love with the world
Feel alive
Forced to be a hero when I was left behind
Grew up in an instant to survive

It's a miracle, the crowd all screams
Everyone's so proud of me
But I'm a graveyard
Oh I'm in deep
Miss the person I never got to be

Never got to be wild like the horses
Naive like a child
Horrors of the world came knocking, knocking
My feet were in the grass
Dancing through the trees
I saw it when heaven came falling, falling

Cried at cracks of thunder
Saw the flood appear
Swallowed everything I held near
Should've been wild like the horses
But I had to leave my childhood in the dirt
Six feet below me

Never saw it coming
Now I can't relax
I'm all hypervigilance, under attack
'Cause I know a secret my friends don't understand
Safety's an illusion
Fate is all chance

It's a miracle, the crowd all
Screams
Everyone's so proud of me
But I'm a graveyard
Oh I'm in deep
Miss the person I never got to be

Never got to be wild like the horses
Naive like a child
Horrors of the world came knocking, knocking
My feet were in the grass
Dancing through the trees
I saw it when heaven came falling, falling

Cried at cracks of thunder
Saw the flood appear
Swallowed everything I held near
Should've been wild like the horses
But I had to leave my childhood in the dirt
Six feet below me

I was way too young
I was way too young, way too

I was way too young
I was way too young, way too

How could you be gone?
How could you be gone, you be

How could you be gone?
How could you be gone, you be

When I close my eyes
I still feel the grass, feel the Sun
Oh wild horses, how you run
