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
