This Boy

This boy wants to play, there's no time left today It's a shame 'cause he has to go home This boy's got to work, got to sweat just to pay What he gets to get left all alone Well, let's step outside Let's go for a ride, just for a while No, we won't get caught Well, that's what I thought until we cry I'm still here, but it hasn't been easy I'm sure that you had your reasons I'm scared for this emotion For years I've been holding it down For years I've been holding it down This girl tries her best everyday But it's all gone to waste, 'cause there's no one around This girl, she can draw, she can paint Likes to dance, she can skate, now she don't make a sound We'll play in the park 'Til it's too dark for us to see Well, we'll make our way home With mud on our clothes, she won't be pleased I'm still here, but it hasn't been easy I'm sure that you had your reasons I'm scared for this emotion For years I've been holding it down And I love to forgive and forget So, I'll try to put all this behind us Just know that my arms are wide open The older I get, the more that I know Well, it's time to let this go I got to let it go, oh I got to let it go (gotta let it go) I got to let it go (gotta let it go) I got to let it go, oh I'm still here, but it hasn't been easy I'm sure that you had your reasons I'm scared for this emotion For years I've been holding it down And I love to forgive and forget So, I'll try to put all this behind us Just know that my arms are wide open The older I get, the more that I know And I love to forgive and forget So, I'll try to put all this behind us Just know that my arms are wide open The older I get, the more that I know Well, it's time to let this go
