Lyrics

[00:17.090] This boy wants to play,
[00:19.000] There's no time left today,
[00:21.150] It's a shame 'cause he has to go home.
[00:24.440]
[00:25.180] This boy's got to work
[00:27.000] Got to sweat just to pay what he gets
[00:30.030] to get left all alone.
[00:32.750]
[00:33.620] Well let's step outside,
[00:35.560] Let's go for a ride,
[00:37.130] Just for a while.
[00:41.090] No we won't get caught,
[00:43.450] Well that's what I thought, until we cry.
[00:47.820]
[00:48.270] I'm still here,
[00:50.410] But it hasn't been easy,
[00:53.070] I'm sure that you had your reasons,
[00:57.170] I'm scared for this emotion,
[01:00.790] For years I've been holding it down,
[01:04.720] For years I've been holding it down.
[01:08.380]
[01:09.640] This girl tries her best everyday,
[01:12.240] But it's all gone to waste
[01:14.330] 'cause there's no one around,
[01:17.570] This girl she can draw she can paint,
[01:20.320] Likes to dance she can skate,
[01:22.330] Now she don't make a sound.
[01:25.040]
[01:25.990] We'll play in our park,
[01:28.140] 'Till it's too dark for us to see
[01:33.420] Well we'll make our way home,
[01:36.300] With mud on our clothes,
[01:37.450] She won't be pleased.
[01:40.390]
[01:40.710] I'm still here,
[01:42.610] But it hasn't been easy,
[01:45.430] I'm sure that you had your reasons,
[01:49.390] I'm scared for this emotion,
[01:52.900] For years I've been holding it down,
[01:56.020] And I,
[01:57.490] Love to forgive and forget,
[02:00.430] So I,
[02:01.610] Try to put all this behind us,
[02:04.960] Just,
[02:05.750] Know that my arms are wide open,
[02:08.960] The older I get, the more that I know.
[02:13.150]
[02:14.150] Well it's time to let this go.
[02:19.880] I got to let it go
[02:23.880] I got to let it go
[02:28.000] I got to let it go
[02:32.060] I got to let it go
[02:34.530]
[02:34.900] I'm still here,
[02:36.810] But it hasn' been easy,
[02:39.340] I'm sure that you had your reasons,
[02:43.600] I'm scared for this emotion,
[02:47.130] For years I've been holding it down,
[02:50.160] And I,
[02:51.590] Love to forgive and forget,
[02:54.410] So I,
[02:55.660] Try to put all this behind us,
[02:58.970] Just,
[02:59.720] Know that my arms are wide open,
[03:03.090] The older I get, the more that I know.
[03:07.100]
[03:10.610] And I,
[03:11.130] Love to forgive and forget,
[03:14.570] So I,
[03:15.910] Try to put all this behind us,
[03:19.290] Just,
[03:20.230] Know that my arms are wide open,
[03:23.820] The older I get, the more that I know.
[03:28.320]
[03:30.950] Well it's time to let this go.
[03:37.550]
[03:40.600]
[03:46.240]
[03:49.420] END
