You're an old soul
With a childlike heart
Your open eyes and lenses
See the world in works of art
You are healing
Setting right some broken bones
Trying to keep from going under
Let the feelings sink like stones
You're too young
To carry all the pain
You're too loved
To say you'll never love again
You're too young
To shoulder all the blame
You're an old soul
With a loving heart
Tired of being wounded
Patching up the same old scars
There are some things
You don't get over, just get through
Loving someone so much
All the while ignoring you
Patience pays
Or so they say
But the good you do
Will come back to you in time
It'll be alright
