there was a boy who knew me well
from my eyes he could tell
whether i'm happy or unwell
from my smiles he could smell
whether these lips have gone through hell
there was a boy i knew good
from his shadowed face i could
tell his hungry soul needs food
from his hands i knew i would
be the one to change his mood
there was a time when the boy was mine
that was when he made all fine
and promised we would walk in line
against all odds we would shine
and make life taste like bittersweet wine
but those times have gone for long
forgot why or what went wrong
i'd been weak but now i'm strong
and to another boy i belong
now i sing a different song
