This Boy (Refreshed)

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 But 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 Of all this emotion For years I've been holding it down For years I've been holding it down This girl tries her best every day 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 Of all 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 I got to let it go I got to let it go I got to let it go I'm still here But it hasn't been easy I'm sure That you had your reasons I'm scared Of all 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
