LYRICS
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

Lyrics for this absolute anthem. 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 awhile 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 if all this in motion For years I've been holding you down For years I've been holding you 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, dinner'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 if all this in motion For years I've been holding you down And I'd love to forgive and forget So I tried 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 if all this in motion For years I've been holding you down And I'd love to forgive and forget So I tried 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'd love to forgive and forget So I tried 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
