the wide eyed child in me

Singer: collins, edwyn

just give me two good reasons

why you find me so displeasing

and i'll gladly go the way i came

but there's no method in you're madness

only unforgiving sadness

and to leave right now just seems insane

i guess it's just the pace of life

that's tearing us apart

running rings around our hearts

before we've even started

and yet the wide eyed child in me

stills controls my destiny

stills believes our dreams will be fulfilled

and if i'm too demanding

it's just lack of understanding

'cause i know sometimes it's hard for you to cope

but i've given you a rainbow

vaguely wishing that our love could grow

now i've nothing left to offer you but hope

i guess it's just the pace of life

that's tearing us apart

running rings around our hearts

before we've even started

and yet the wide eyed child in me

stills controls my destiny

stills believes our dreams will be fulfilled
