There's no time left today
It's a shame coz 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
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
Coz 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 until 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
For years I've been holding it down
And I'd 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 than 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
This boy wants to play There's no time left today It's a shame coz 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 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 Coz 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 until 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 For years I've been holding it down And I'd 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 than 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 Explain Request ×
