Innocent Lies

Once I met a silly boy

Ordinary as could be

But not so ordinary

If you looked more carefully

The kid was smarter than the others

It was not hard to get it

But he's never been his mother's dream

He was too shy to admit it

He never had too many friends

He didn't handle it so well

It was not cool, the kids from school

Just made his life a hell

He felt so different when he was

In his own world of his room

Where he could shine, sing lullabies

Or just fly to the moon

So wrong, he suffered alone

No one could see behind his smiling face

Stuck on this circle of innocent lies

That's where he could hide

He had to hold on

Insisting on his own denials

So he could feel human

He had to move on

Resisting a gazillion miles

So he could be like the others

The boy has grown and he has thrown

His past down the drain

But sometimes he still sheds a tear

When he recalls the pain

But he's not weak, not such a freak

His feet are on the ground

Although he feels his future is lost

Somewhere to be found

So wrong, he bears it alone

Different problems, or maybe just the same

Stuck on his circle of innocent lies

Just trying to hide

He has to hold on

Insisting on his own denials

So he can feel human

He has to move on

Resisting a gazillion miles

So he can be like the others

But he can't fool himself by saying it's Ok

Deep inside he knows he's still afraid

Will anyone hear when he cries for help?

Or will he be forgotten like an old book on the shelf?

Once I met a silly boy

Ordinary as could be

But not so ordinary

If you looked more carefully
