Heartless

You scared me so with all the woe
And all the pain that came and rained down
Into your paddling pool, you fool
And when I fled the scene
I did not mean to steal your heart
But you gave me control
And it's a role I should never be allowed, oh

You died in my care tonight
I walked you down the tunnel into the light
You died in my care tonight
And now I know
I'm a heartless man

I'm such a child but I play the man
I do not think I can
'Cause all I want to do is play with my crayons
And pretend like I rule the world

Well don't you take me back 'cause I will run
When you tie me down, I come undone
No, I don't want to play out with you no more, no more
And I would make you things to make you think
All the things I think I thought I wanted you to know
No, no, I think I loved you more than life itself but still

You died in my care tonight
I walked you down the tunnel into the light
You died in my care tonight
And now I know
I'm a heartless man

You always kept the lid on your pen
You never lend yourself
You always made me steal from you
Silly you, silly you
And now the loudest noise and the brightest lights
And the biggest thrills will bury you when I'm gone
Now I'm gone, I'm gone

You died in my care tonight
I walked you down the tunnel into the light
You died in my care tonight
And now I know
I know
Oh, I know
I'm a heartless man
