I hide behind excuses and time
Blaming the world for every line
I run from weight, I run from blame
Calling my fear a different name

I break, I cry, I shut the door
I want the crown, but not the war
I want the prize, but not the pain
I want the sun without the rain

I have the soul of a child
Like a small boy, I have a childish mind
I look like a man on the outside
But inside, I’m still just a child

I want to be saved, not to stand
I want a guide, not my own hand
Responsibility scares my bones
I’d rather hide than stand alone

I have the soul of a child
Like a small boy, I have a childish mind
I look like a man on the outside
But inside, I’m still just a child

Age passed, but I stayed behind
A grown-up body, a childish mind

I have the soul of a child
Like a small boy, I have a childish mind
I look like a man on the outside
But inside, I’m still just a child

One day I’ll have to choose
To grow — or lose
Because time won’t wait
For a child in a man’s shape
