Ballad of a Boy Lyrics

Every now and then I wonder

What did I do wrong

To deserve this silence

At the ending of this song

I never even got an answer

Of how I could help

At this very moment

I don't need to help myself

I just wanted to see you

Was that too much?

I couldn't even get a call back

Or any kind of response

Why? Why?

Even after all this I

Still try

To make sure you're alright but

You won't

Return the favor

So thanks for teaching me

That everybody leaves

I still remember the first time

We set our sights

I was sitting nervous looking at you

But I didn't want this to end

Is this what hope's supposed to feel like?

Should I have caught the signs?

That we we're burning too fast

It doesn't matter now

All I ever wanted was another nap in your arms

I keep thinking I'll get that now it's pretty hard to move on

Why? Why?

I tried to give you all the space that you needed

I kept on checking in to let you know that I'm there

Why? Why? Why?

Me too Leo, me too
