Intro

Verse

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

Bridge

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 cried

Chorus

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

Verse 2

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

Bridge

We'll play in the park

 'Till 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

Chorus

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 (x4)

[Play Chorus]

 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
