Joy rides round the city
Terrified children
You used to be
So soft, naive
You don't look like yourself
Your laugh hasn't changed
So maybe you're still in there, I can pray
I don't know how to get myself back
The world falls apart and we laugh
You don't know if you'll ever come back
Do you think we're lost in the past?
The boy I knew
Wouldn't do
What you do
The boy I knew
Wouldn't do
What you do
The boy I once knew
Wouldn't treat me
The way that you do
Oh (I once knew)
You'll whisper that you missed me
And exhale my forgiveness
Rewind me like one of your toys
I don't matter, not one of the boys
So why should you care
I'm barely even there
I don't know how to get myself back
The world falls apart and we laugh
You don't know if you'll ever come back
Do you think we're lost in the past?
The boy I knew
Wouldn't do
What you do
The boy I knew
Wouldn't do
What you do
The boy I knew
Wouldn't do
What you do
The boy I knew
Wouldn't hurt me
Like you do
