lyrics
When Boys Grow Up
if this is just another story about the good and the bad cop
I'm not sure I care which one
is landing the sucker punch
I'm lacking the ambition for a better nutrition
but that's not to say that I
don't care about human kind
don't give up
I know that we're made of
much more than these
fast fading dreams
when girls grow up
they're told that they'll find love
now I'm not sure
just what that means
if this is just another story of the good and the bad boy
I'm not sure I care which one
is dying the lonely one
here comes another rendition of an old superstition
if we shall all sing a song
please make it a simple one
don't give up
I know that we're made of
much more than these
fast fading dreams
when boys grow up
they're told to toughen up
now we can't feel
just how it feels
to be alive
and to be scared to die
but I'm not so scared
when you're with me
don't give up
I know that we're made of
much more than these
fast fading dreams
when boys grow up
they're told to toughen up
now we can't feel
just how it feels
to be alive
and to be scared to die
but I'm not so scared
when you're with me
I know that I
could live a thousand lives
but this one seems
alright to me
yeah this life is
just fine by me
oh this live it's
alright by me
if this is just another story about the good and the bad cop
I'm not sure I care which one
is landing the sucker punch
I'm lacking the ambition for a better nutrition
but that's not to say that I
don't care about human kind
don't give up
I know that we're made of
much more than these
fast fading dreams
when girls grow up
they're told that they'll find love
now I'm not sure
just what that means
if this is just another story of the good and the bad boy
I'm not sure I care which one
is dying the lonely one
here comes another rendition of an old superstition
if we shall all sing a song
please make it a simple one
don't give up
I know that we're made of
much more than these
fast fading dreams
when boys grow up
they're told to toughen up
now we can't feel
just how it feels
to be alive
and to be scared to die
but I'm not so scared
when you're with me
don't give up
I know that we're made of
much more than these
fast fading dreams
when boys grow up
they're told to toughen up
now we can't feel
just how it feels
to be alive
and to be scared to die
but I'm not so scared
when you're with me
I know that I
could live a thousand lives
but this one seems
alright to me
yeah this life is
just fine by me
oh this live it's
alright by me
