The Heart Remains a Child
[Verse 1]
I dreamed about you again last night
You never have the same fate twice
But I always know it's you
And you're always looking better than you really do
Than you really do

[Verse 2]
And I walk around the whole next day
Feeling like I still got something to say
But I don't know what it is
And I don't know how to reach you
Even if I did, even if I did

[Chorus 1]
Do I wanna hear that you forgive me?
Do I wanna hear you're no good without me?
And am I big enough to hear that you never even think about me?
Why should you ever think about me?

[Verse 3]
I thought that I'd outgrow this kind of thing
Tell me, aren't we supposed to mature or something?
I haven't found that yet
Is this as grown-up as we ever get?
Maybe this is as good as it gets
[Chorus 2]
And years may go by
But I think the heart remains a child
And the mind may grow wise
But the heart just sulks and it whines and remains a child
I think the heart remains a child

[Outro]
Why don't you love me?
Why don't you love me?
Why don't you love me?
