Lyrics

Teenage Heart
By Ted Horrell

It’s tender as a nurtured garden sprout
So warm and unprepared to be pulled out
It shudders when you find someone to trust
But when the harsh winter moves on through
It feels just like the world’s a joke on you
And it’s true
He walked all over you and your teenage heart

You didn’t know that pain could hurt so much
You didn’t know that bruises come from touch
You don’t know if you’ll ever smile again
You think that no one else knows what it’s like
And in a way you’re absolutely right
‘Cause tonight
You’ll keep out of site with your teenage heart

You think it’s gonna kill you, but it’s not
You think it’s gonna kill you, but it’s not
You think it’s gonna kill you, but it’s not
And I know
‘Cause though I may look old
And I may seem hard and cold
Underneath this skin and bones
Beats a teenage heart

You think it’s gonna kill you, but it’s not
