Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ever since I was a small boy
No one else compared to you, no way
I always thought heroes stayed close
Whenever troubled times arose
I didn't know, that ain't always how it goes
[Verse 2]
Every single word you told me
I believed without a question, always
To save all of us
You told us both to trust
But now I know you only saved yourself
[Verse 3]
Did you think I'd never know?
Never wise-up as I grow?
[Verse 4]
And you could store an ocean in the holes
In any of the explanations that you gave
And while you still had time, you had a chance
But you decided to take all your sorrys to the grave
[Verse 5]
Did you think I'd never know?
Never wise-up as I grow?
Did you hope I'd never doubt?
Never one day work it out?
[Verse 6]
You were running for cover
Doing like any other
Fallen out with a lover
You didn't know that I suffered
What a thing to discover
If there was time to recover
A one-on-one with each other
Just a boy and a father
What I'd give for another
Everything that I have
Wouldn't need us for long
I'd never speak of the time
That you left us alone
Me and Steve, on our own
I wanna tell you about the time
Wanna tell you about my life
Wanna play you all my songs
Learn the words, sing along
[Verse 7]
Wanna tell you about the time
I was in Abbey Road
Or the time that I had
Mick Jagger on the phone
I thought of you when he spoke
Wanna tell you about that time
Wanna tell you about my life
Wanna play you all my songs
Hear your voice sing along
I wanna say it's alright
You're just a man after all
And I know you had demons
I got some of my own
I think you passed them along
I wanna tell you about the time
Wanna tell you about my life
Wanna play you all my songs
And hear your voice sing along
