Andy Goggin: The Songs

THIS CHILDISH HEART

(Sung by Andy Goggin - U.K./Denmark)
Music & Lyrics by Andy Goggin. Produced by Ole Berg.
I’ve been playing our song again,
I’ve been drowning in wine
I’ve been fighting the urge to call you up
Just this one last time.

And I’ve smoked all my cigarettes,
And I’ve spent my last dime
But still I’ll be holding my head high,
Like everything’s fine.

But one day I know, this tired old one man show
Will break down so everyone can see
This childish heart, all washed up and torn apart
Since the day you walked away from me.

So I’ll turn on the radio,
And I’ll pull down the blinds
And I’ll choke back the tears I hold inside
Pretend they’re not mine

‘Cause I’m close to the edge,
And I’m all out of time
But I’m praying to all the gods above
That you’ll still be mine.

‘Cause one day I know, this tired old one man show
Will break down so everyone can see
This childish heart, all washed up and torn apart
Since the day you walked away from me.
