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 cried
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
'Till 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, 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 (x4)
And I, love to forgive and forget
So I, 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
