When you were young

Did you ever love somebody

Like I love,

I love you now

'Cause now that you're older

I see you don't mind

Letting go of my hand in a crowd

You don't want to hold tight.

And when we kiss goodnight

There's a million hearts

Beating in my room

I wish they would go away.

Ah say it again

There's a million hearts

That break too soon

Everytime you go away.



When you were young

Did you ever fall down,

Graze your knee

And want to run to someone

'Cause now that you're older

I've been falling down,

I want to run to someone

But there's nobody around.



I can hear the sound

There's a million hearths

Beating in my room

I wish they would go away,

Ah say it again

There's a million hearts

That break too soon

Every time you go away.



Every time you go away

Think about the things I say

Think about it twice as long

Tell me what's going wrong.
