Here me calling, I'm free falling
What is wrong and right now
Lord I need some light now
Show me, am I living a lie
Was it all for glory
That I wrote my story
I've been trying
Always fighting
Thought it made me stronger
Now I fight no longer
There's a boy I used to know
He was different from me
There was nothing that he
Thought he couldn't do, no no
There's this boy I used to see
Now I see him no more
If he's gone forever
I don't wanna know
Don't know when it really started
Was it my one way out
From the broken hearted
Growing older made me colder
As I lost direction
Struggling for perfection
There's a boy I used to know
He was different from me
There was nothing that he
Thought he couldn't do, no no
There's this boy I used to see
Now I see him no more
If he's gone forever
I don't wanna know
I'm wide open now
I'll make it somehow
Let go of my defenses
Floating through the air
There's a boy I used to know
He was different from me
There was nothing that he
Thought he couldn't do, no
There's this boy I used to see
Now I see him no more
If he's gone forever
I don't wanna know
(There's a boy)
(I was here)
(He had to go)
He had to go
(There's this boy
(I used to see)
If he's gone forever
I don't wanna know
I don't really wanna know
