I was a boy
When we first met
But boys become men every chance they get
I was a fool
How selfish of me
Now there’s no escape for the red handed; no reprive
I could let you in to show you all the ways I’ll never know you
I can’t walk alone
Without my big coat
There far too many here who need to slit my throat
Now I’m a man
Staring fear in the eye
And knocking at your door to no reply
I could let you in to show you all the ways I’ll never know you
