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 mind

Pure love is understanding
Push my pride aside
Pure love is so demanding
I got the message
I've learned my lesson

Love like a child
Borrow innocence for a while
And I'll pretend that I've never been hurt
Before
Never been hurt this way

I'm so afraid
Of being shot down and turned away

I'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 mind

Push my pride aside
Pure love is so demanding
I've got the message
I've learned my lesson

Love like a child
Borrow innocence for a while
And I'll pretend that I've never been hurt
Before
Never been hurt this way

Love like a child
Borrow innocence for a while
And I will love like I've never loved before
Love without restrain
