Have I ever told you
There's a little boy inside of me
He lives in my heart
But I wish not to see

He grabs my hand
For something to hold
But I let it go,
For I am too old

He cries at night
Because he is scared
But I won't do a thing,
I never would dare

He tries to tell me
Attempts to mention
But I am careful
Not to give him attention



But I can't help but stare
When I see my face
It used to be young
Now a man took its place

I have to be that man,
Strong and brave
To this boy in me
I can't fall a slave

So I ignore myself
Who is locked in my heart
And I pretend I'm a man,
I must play my part

But if you listen to my heart
And watch my eyes
You'll see just a boy
In a suit tying ties
