James Morrison - This Boy lyrics

This boy wants to play

There's no time left today

It's a shame coz 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

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

Coz 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 until 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

For years I've been holding it down

And I'd 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 than 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
