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
