Do you see yourself in me? Have I made you proud?
I'm still learning that everything comes around
Nothing ever comes for free
I'm trying hard and you need to believe
You didn't bring me up to be a fool
But still I wait, can I just say

Hello mother, hello father
Can you hear me? Can you see me?
I'm trying to be better, is it working?
Am I ever going to make something of myself?
Put the past upon the shelf
I'm looking for a place to start, I'm just a young heart

There's no regrets, just unwanted memories
Can we please just forget what we said?
Shake my hand I'm with you 'til the end
But still I wait, can I just say
I can't make it on my own, I need you by my side

Hello mother, hello father
Can you hear me? Can you see me?
I'm trying to be better, is it working?
Am I ever going to make something of myself?
Put the past upon the shelf
I'm looking for a place to start, I'm just a young heart
I'm just a young heart

Sitting at the water's edge, my reflection's not so clear
I thought by now in my life I'd have overcome this fear
Have I done right by you?
Have I done right by me?

Hello mother, hello father
Can you hear me? Can you see me?
I'm trying to be better, is it working?
Am I ever going to make something of myself?
Put the past upon the shelf
I'm looking for a place to start, I'm just a young heart
I'm just a young heart
I'm just a young heart
