We believe foolish things when we are children
Like used to think that if I poked a scar enough times it wouldn't hurt any more because it would run out of pain
So later I kept running to you and I know it's insane
But I expected a different result
Like the disappointment and words without thought would be exhausted and the tears would come to a halt
I was wrong
And when I was younger I thought that I would always grin and bear it
That no weight was so heavy I couldn't smile while I carried it
And with that belief in mind, I thought my mirror was broken
But I realized it was only my lips
And still they tell me to crack a smile
Go the extra mile
Make it worth while
But honestly Im tired of it all
But that old me who tbought  it would be easy            
I was wrong false faulty
I was wrong
See when we are young our hearts our love our compassion is larger that we are
But we grow and grow up
And the proportion corrupt
So our heart doesn't grow with us and its suddenly too small
Unless we let it- grow that is
But I didn't so I'm asking you this
Tell me it's not too late
Tell me I can undo all the hate
With words on a page
Or deeds through the day
To put out all the flames of rage
See I'd like to believe that our hearts are made of Phoenix feathers and perennial petals
So we can blossom from the cold of isolation and rise from the ashes of hatred
That's what I believe
But if I'm wrong, I won't greave
After all I'm just a kid, my lofe is under construction and I'm still builong
And... and we believe foolish things when we are children
