Paragraph Lyric
Age 5. Just a little boy shy
Is he ready for the big surprise?
He'll be playing lego in a dream
when the shadows come to life.
Age 9. And he should've been fine with a secret he's sure to keep.
Two times had to tell a little lie for the sake of him and me.
Now it's over.
I need closure.
Chorus:
[Hey! Look what you did to me when you were taking me home,
Getting me stoned,
leave me alone.
I waited for mum to comfort me
but when I opened my mouth,
"Don't say nothing. SHHHHHHHHH"]
Age 12 and it isn't going wll.
Now 3 years to the day.
Confused, but unlike you this feeling won't go away.
16 and the woman down the street has invited him to come inside.
It was the first time
It didn't feel right.
It'll be the last time he tries.
[Hey! Look what you did to me when you were taking me home,
Getting me stoned,
leave me alone.
I waited for mum to comfort me
but when I opened my mouth,
"Don't say nothing's wrong"]
I won't say nothing's wrong.
I won't say...
I won't say...
I won't say...
I won't say...
I won't say...
I won't say...
17 all he's ever seen is living between the lies.
It's kind of funny how a mind can keep living in denial
18 is a very strange scene,
he's still playing with the past.
Expelled.
Maybe someone could've helped
If someone had had known to ask.
[Hey! Look what you did to me when you were taking me home,
Getting me stoned,
leave me alone.
I waited for mum to comfort me
but when I opened my mouth,
"Don't say nothing. SHHHHHHHHH"]
19 and he's innocently parked right beside a school.
He stares at a boy sitting there and the boy stares at him too.
He walkes over
He needs closure.
