Lyrics
This Boy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Never ever wanted to fight in your war
Never wanted to fight your wars for you
This boy only believes in love
Never wanted to sign away my life
Never wanted to hand over my rights
This boy believes in love
Oh this boy bends backwards
While this boy crawls on his tummy
And this boy prays for forgiveness
For all of our sins
For the state we?re in
Sometimes I feel like I?m sleepwalking
In a great big haunted house
Just stumbling around in the darkness
Can't seem to get to sleep at night
Because of the lies... lies... lies
Lies is all we've been told
Sometimes it?s hard for us to face the truth
In a world we no longer seem to understand
But don?t let them break us
And don?t let them nail us
Into boxes for the old mans parade
This boy's coming home from the war
Coming in from the cold
To settle old score
And old score...
