Like a Child - The Echoing Green

Like a Child Lyrics

Infatuation is just a waste of time
All my temptations I can try to leave
Behind
But I'm nothing less than human
Emotions keep returning
My mind is willing but my heart is so weak
And I can try with all my might
To find my peace of mindPure love is understanding
Push my pride aside
Pure love is so demanding
I got the message
I've learned my lessonLove like a child
Borrow innocence for a while
And I'll pretend that I've never been hurt
Before
Never been hurt this wayI'm so afraid
Of being shot down and turned awayI'm nothing less than human
It's sad but true

I show the bruises of my tainted youth
And I can try with all my might
To find my peace of mindPush my pride aside
Pure love is so demanding
I've got the message
I've learned my lessonLove like a child
Borrow innocence for a while
And I'll pretend that I've never been hurt
Before
Never been hurt this wayLove like a child
Borrow innocence for a while
And I will love like I've never loved before
Love without restrain
