You’re just a boy I held hands with
I let you discover every part of me
In the smoky apartment, in the back room
It was like floating, but only for a while
Then when you were gone, it was like thunder
And I shook, and held my own cold naked body
I cried.
But then you came back, and held me.
Wrapped your arms against me, we melted.
You told me lies, and I knew it
It made me whole again, but not fixed
Because I know you will leave again
And won’t come back
I am so afraid.

You’re just a boy I held hands with
I let you discover every part of me
In the smoky apartment, in the back room
It was like floating, but only for a while
Then when you were gone, it was like thunder
And I shook, and held my own cold naked body
I cried.
But then you came back, and held me.
Wrapped your arms against me, we melted.
You told me lies, and I knew it
It made me whole again, but not fixed
Because I know you will leave again
And won’t come back
I am so afraid.
