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 cry
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
