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
