This Boy (Refreshed) Lyrics by James Morrison

Greatest Hits

2022

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Let's step outside
Let's go for a ride, just for a while
No, we won't get caught
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, 'causе there's no one around
This girl, shе can draw, she can paint
Likes to dance, she can skate, now she don't make a sound

[Pre-Chorus]
We'll play in the park
'Til 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-oh
It's time to let this go-ah, yeah-yeah

[Bridge]
I got to let it go (gotta let it go)
I got to let it go (gotta let it go)
I got to let it go-ooh (gotta let it go)
Got to let it go

[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
Years I've been holding it down
And I love to forgive and forget
So, I try to put all this behind us
But know that my arms are wide open
The older I get, oh, the more that I know-oh-oh, oh-oh-ah

[Outro]
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, oh, the more that I know (ooh)
It's time to let this go
