Boy Lyrics by Tellison

Hope Fading Nightly

0

As a young man
I thought I knew everything
I thought I knew how to live
Completely clueless
When 2005 was the worst year of my life
You made it good
When I thought no-one could

But I was just a boy when I met you
I shouldn’t have let you in but I wanted to

On the night you left
I heard everything you’d say
I crumbled and crawled away
I woke up in an alleyway
Cause that night I raised my fist and in my fist I raised my drink
I drank to broken limbs
To bloodied lips
To losing all you thought you wanted

But I was just a Boy when I met you
I shouldn’t have let you in but I let you
It was 2005 I thought this loss might be my life
Oh but I was just a Boy when I met you

Seventeen and you think you know it all
Nineteen and you think you know it all
But I knew

I was just a Boy when I met you
