He's Lost
He's just a little lost boy
Playing dress-up
He's just a little boy, with a grown-up face
I've never met anyone who is as lost as he
Who can pretend that he's so sure of himself
When he really isn't sure of anything
I don't want to deal with it, anymore
Just look away...look away
I cannot shoulder his burden, along with my own
So, just look away
I don't want to know if he cares, for real
Because the truth might hurt too damn much
Oh, he's beautiful, but beauty fades
He's just so unsure, so lost
He doesn't know where his home is
He doesn't really know where his heart is
He feels like he never belongs anywhere...
I can't afford to hold on
So, for my own sake, I'm saying goodbye
Because if I don't, he'll destroy me, for sure
And though my love is true, I have to walk away
I'm finally walking away...
Maybe, one day, someday, he'll grow up
And find himself
Maybe someday....
Oh, my lost little boy, hidden within the body of a man
This is our final goodbye...
