Album: The Basic Stuff
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 won't 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 grownup ways
Afraid to give his heart away
That little boy with man-size greed
Who held his heart so tight
Was sure that if he 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 up on a shelf
A frightened heart that stays at home
That smiles a lot but lives alone
A little boy with grownup 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
Into his darkest darkness there
Without a soul to see
Someone came and something changed
The "I" became a "we"
The little boy was not alone
The grownup shed his skin
His 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 my heart away
He took my heart for His own home
And let me know I'm not alone
He came at once and came to stay
The day I gave my heart away
