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
