Just a Boy Not a Man

[Intro]
Questions on my mind, echoing loud, running laps through my mind
Bang! Goes the gun, as the mind race begins…
Questions on my mind…

[Verse 1]
He ran like a boy when he should’ve been a man
Left my side when I needed him to understand
Holding back the words, calling it truths, colliding with sound, as voices grow louder. “Should I come now,” but it’s too late to her, choices made, “that’s your decision,”
The phone hangs up…
[Pre-Chorus]
If he knew I was crying, why did he stay away? 
Was it about pride, or did he just stray?
Could’ve been real, but he played the part
Faking his care, breaking my heart

[Chorus]
Sometimes a lie isn’t a lie, it’s what you don’t say
A silence so loud, it pushes us away
I gave him my time, he couldn’t give me his
Left me to storm, rain, raindrops falling from my eyes.

[Verse 2]
He couldn’t face the storm inside he created so he resigned 
Running from the problems, leaving love behind
Was he just scared, or too lost to see?
A boy in a man’s world, running from my plea.

[Pre-Chorus]
If he knew I was crying, why did he stay away? 
Was it about pride, or did he just stray?
Could’ve been real, but he played the part
Faking his care, breaking my heart

[Chorus]
Sometimes a lie isn’t a lie, it’s what you don’t say
A silence so loud, it pushes us away
I gave him my time, he couldn’t give me his
Left me to storm, rain, raindrops falling from my eyes.

[Bridge]
Waiting for a change, that never came
Words left unspoken, only clouds remain
Can’t hold on when love’s slipping fast
Learning to forgive the past, but not forget. 

[Outro]
He ran like a boy, when he should have been a man.
Look him in the eye as he turns away.
Turn his face towards you as he tries to pull away.
Regret on his face yet he made the wound first.
Twisting the knife, ripping what we had apart. 
Standing tall, but so small
If he cared, he would’ve stayed
But love was just a game he played.
