A child grows up and learns to hide,
To keep his heart together.
From early on, he tries to mold a face that lasts forever.
A pair of eyes that let the boy look out,
But wont let you look in.
He is collecting words that he can use,
So he can always win.
A frightened heart that stays at home
That smiles a lot but lives alone,
A little boy with grown up ways,
Afraid to give his heart away.
That little boy with man-size greed
Who held his heart so tight,
Was sure that if let it go,
He´d lose it overnight.
So there he was, in his own world, the one he built himself,
Made sure the doors were locked,
The curtains drawn,
His heart upon a shelf.
A frightened heart that stays at home
Smiles a lot but lives alone,
A little boy with grown up ways,
Afraid to give his heart away.
One night, he sat up in the dark
Cause he couldn't sleep,
And wondered if he´d die alone,
With nothing fit to keep.
And to his darkness there,
Without a soul to see,
Someone came and something changed,
The I became a we,
The lttle boy was not alone,
The grown up shed his skin,
The frightened heart was not so scared,
Because someone came in.
He took my heart for His own home,
And let me know I´m not alone,
My life was changed
I´m glad to say,
The day I gave y heart away.
He took my heart for His own home,
He let me know I´m not alone,
He came at once, He came to stay,
The day I gave my heart away,
