The Faith of a Child
I loved you complete
with the innocence and sweetness of a boy at school but life takes it's toll we grow old and we grow colder as we learn the rules it's all so unkind I'm longing for the time when I loved you with the faith of a child
I look at the past through the fog and photographs it seems so far away it's hard to believe we were once young and naive when I see us today it's really kind of strange we're so completely changed since I loved you with the faith of a child
I don't mean to imply that I don't share in the blame in many ways we've both behaved the same from innocence to better sense to bitter sentiments growing up's been such an ugly game
I pray to the skies or whoever hears the cries of a jaded man if mercy divine can't repair this heart of mine then I guess nothing can Heaven hear my plea and pray restore to me the starry eyes and the faith of a child
I don't expect to resurrect affection without fear or wash away the scars with the tears but in a sense my self defense is killing me it's clear as sweet remembrance echoes in my ears
I bleed and I brace as the truth flies in the faces of this bitter fool and life takes it toll I grow old and I grow colder as I learn the rules it's all so unkind I'm longing for the time when I loved you with the faith of a child
