When I Was a Boy

I remember the things you said that day
Your hair was blowing with the wind
Your eyes never looking into my eyes
And your smile was faking all the time
The night was cold, and there's no hope, just you and me
And the stars to shine
You saying your goodbyes
But I never really mean, I just never want to belive
But you, make me belive
But you, make me belive
Now that I realized that you're never coming back
Alone I took a ride and tried to go back
When I was a boy the days were better
You here with me and in the tree there's our letters
The night was cold, and there's no hope, just you and me
And the stars to shine
You saying your goodbyes
But I never really mean, I just never want to belive
But you, make me belive
But you, make me belive
But you, make me belive
But you, make me belive
