Simplfy Lyrics

The world's so big at three feet tall
As a child, everything seemed overwhelmingly large and complex but manageable with the help of caregivers.

So complex but through it all
Despite the challenges and difficulties of navigating a complicated world, the singer had someone who supported and cared for them.

I had someone who cared
The singer had a loving and supportive caregiver in their life.

Barely reaching the doorknobs
The artist was small and physically dependent on others.

So dependent, so much wrong
Despite the love and care they received, things were not always easy for the artist as a child.

But you were always there
Throughout their childhood, the singer's caregiver was a constant source of love and support.

I hear your voice as it calls my name
The singer can still remember the sound of their caregiver's voice.

And yet your voice has changed
As time has passed, the sound of their caregiver's voice has changed.

I need no sympathy, I just wish that it was me
The artist doesn't want pity, but rather wishes they could go back in time to be with their caregiver again.

My heart, my love, my voice
The artist's emotions and expression are still childlike and pure.

Are still your little boy's
Despite growing up, the singer still feels connected to and loved by their caregiver.

So young how should I know
As a child, the artist couldn't know what it would feel like to lose their caregiver.

How I should watch you go?
Now that they are older and aware of the inevitable loss, the singer doesn't know how to face the thought of losing their caregiver.

All my life, I've been told, you lose your soul when your body's cold
Death is a common theme in the singer's life, with others telling them that the soul leaves the body upon death.

But this I've tried, I can't control, that all my love is an overload
Despite the inevitability of loss, the singer cannot help but feel an overwhelming love and attachment to their caregiver.

Twenty years old and still I try to hear the lullabies
Even as an adult, the artist still remembers and longs to hear the comforting songs their caregiver sang to them as a child.

You sang to me when I was three
The lullabies mentioned were a source of comfort to the artist as a young child.

All grown up lying in my bed, blanket pulled up over my head
Even as an adult, the singer still seeks a sense of comfort and security when feeling overwhelmed.

I close my eyes and then I see
Despite the passage of time, the singer can still recall vivid images and memories of their caregiver.

Your body's changed, but your eyes the same
Although the caregiver's physical appearance may have changed, the artist still sees the same love and care in their eyes.

Why don't the doctors know? (x2)
The artist may be struggling to understand the inevitability of death and why it is something that doctors cannot cure or change.

I'd trade it all for just one day
The artist would give up everything they have for just one more day with their caregiver.

Give everything I own away
Material possessions are meaningless in comparison to the value the singer places on their caregiver and their time together.

I'd sacrifice my life it's true
The artist would give up their own life if it meant they could be with their caregiver again.
