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
