Song lyrics This boy by James Morrison

This boy wants to play
Thereīs no time left today
Itīs a shame coz he has to go home
This boyīs got to work, got to sweat
Just to pay what he gets to get left all alone

Letīs step outside
Letīs go for a ride just for a while
No we wonīt get caught
Well thatīs what I thought until we cried

Iīm still here
But it hasnīt been easy
Iīm sure
That you had your reasons
Iīm scared
Of all this emotion
For years Iīve been holding it down
For years Iīve been holding it down

This girl tries her best every day
But itīs all gone to waste
Coz thereīs no one around
This girl she can draw she can paint
Likes to dance she can skate
Now she donīt make a sound

Weīll play in the park until itīs too dark for us to see
Well weīll make our way home
With mud on our clothes
She wonīt be pleased

For years Iīve been holding it down
And Iīd love to forgive and forget
So Iīll try to put all this behind us
Just know that my arms are wide open
The older I get the more than I know
Well itīs 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
