Old Soul

 

Got a pretty old soul

and a pretty young face

Shouldve been born centuries ago

I feel so out of place

I'm the only one

The last of a dying breed

My heart is a fragile thing

and this soul it tends to bleed

I try to be tough

but my heart gives and gives

I was dead before my time

but I'm still yearning to live

I wanted to believe in love

and in someone who truly feels

but I'll put up another wall

because illusions just aren't real

Sometimes I'm just too innocent

but I still have my pride

These tears are overflowing

and there's noone to confide

My dreams are never ending

Emotions seeping through my soul

I'm restless and I'm weary

but I'm here all on my own

 

So where's this keeper and this guardian

The man who holds the key

I'm free falling into nothing

and I'm drowning inside of me

These dreams are never ending

an intricately woven spell

I say it's all good but I don't mean it

I wear this disguise so well

And yet I can still see so much beauty

and the hands of fate are kind

I can see love that's constantly surrounds me

but this love it isn't mine

And in this bitter field of hatred

the seeds of good have been sown

Love heals the open wound

but I have no love of my own

And maybe there is no man

To shelter me from the fall

There is no man brave enough

To scale these old stone walls

I try my best to stand alone

I'm the last of my kind

I got a heart that's too innocent

and a soul as old at time
