This Boy - James Morrison

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 our 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 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 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

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
