Boy

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
