There you are crying grown up tears But they're coming from your childhood fears I know you're only a kid at heart In this world of compromise Come over here and dry your eyes Sometimes everything falls apart, I know When you're only a kid at heart From a childhood memory (my heart) To a place we'll never see Look what we've done Once you were safe and warm Now life's an endless storm Always waking you in the dark Now you're built of faith and fear Trying to make it through the year It's hard to figure out a place to start, I know When you're only a kid at heart From a childhood memory (you know my heart) To a place we'll never see Look what you've done In the time it takes Through each mistake See what you've become I know you're only a kid at heart (I know you're only a kid at heart) I know you're only a kid at heart Started out as a bedtime story Turned into a fight for glory Sometimes it's hard to make your mark When you're only a kid at heart Hard to tell Where the stories end And nighttime dreams begin When you're only a kid at heart (I know you're only a kid at heart) I know you're only a kid at heart
