Heart of a Child – English Lyrics

• By: Eric Clapton

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Put down that gun boy

Don't blow your life away

We're gonna need you

Make it through the day

They put it to you

They put it in your head

Made you believe that

You'd be better off dead

But don't break the heart of your child

Don't let the fear drive you wild

...

We lost the love of a man I was proud to know

They locked you down boy

Made you grieve alone

Turn off the TV

Throw your phone away

Don't you remember

What your daddy used to say

Don't break the heart of your child

Don't let your fear drive you wild

...

The pain you're feeling

Cuts me to the bone

I'm right there with you boy

You'll never be alone

There's someone else here

Someone who can't complain

She don't know if you'll be

Coming home again

Don't break the heart of this child

Don't let your tears drive you wild

Oh Lord

Don't break the heart of your child

Don't let your tears drive you wild

...

Don't break the heart of your child

Don't let the fear drive you wild

...
