lyrics

I know I'm getting older.
And the world is pushing down.
And the holes in the soles of
my shoes are burning.
And I can't afford to put 'em out.

And I know that it's getting colder.
And I know that I'm to blame.
And I know it'll soon be over.
And I know that'll be a shame.

But will the colours fade?
Or will the instinct wane?
And will the joy I feel...
Simply go away?

'Cause I'm a child inside.
It makes me victimized.
It brings the colours and -
the judgement in your eyes.

And I don't want to change.
But I can't stay the same.
Because the pressure's building.
I know I'm to blame.

But I don't wanna change.
But I can't stay the same.
I know I'm close to losing.
And maybe I'm insane.

But will the colours fade?
Or will the instinct wane?
And will the joy I feel...
Simply go away?

'Cause I'm a child inside.
It makes me victimized.
It brings the colours and -
the judgement in your eyes.

And I'm terrified.
I'm terrified.
Of losing you.
Of what I'll do.

When my all luck runs out.
And I am left alone.
Because I let them go.
Because I trusted you.

And I'll deserve it baby.
Yeah, I know I will.

I'll deserve it, baby.
Yeah, I know I will.

Cause I'm a child inside.
I wrap myself in lies.
And I am so deluded.
Because I'm terrified.

Cause I'm a child inside.
Yeah, I'm a child inside.
I'm a child inside.

What will I do?
