Lyrics James Morrison – This Boy

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

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
