You're just a boy
Biding your time
Hoping the world might just let up
And give you a sign
So where is your joy?
I've seen it before
You should be sleeping
But your tears are hard to ignore
Try to hold on, don't feel so blue
Try to be strong, you'll make it through
It won't be long, if you only knew
Just go to sleep, I'm begging you
This is your sign
I'll throw you a line
Just know that you've got me
And that you'll be fine
I've seen you cry
Your tears they will dry
I promise it's worth it
This isn't a time for goodbye
You'll make it through the night
You're just a boy
And you're on your own
You tried to get through to them
But here you are, still so unknown
You feel so destroyed
You've been here before
And you'll come to see
You've been fighting some kind of war
Try to hold on, don't feel so blue (Don't feel so blue)
Try to be strong, and you'll make it through (You'll make it through)
It won't be long, if you only knew (You only knew)
Just go to sleep, I'm begging you
This is your sign
I'll throw you a line
Just know that you've got me
And that you'll be fine
And I've seen you cry
Your tears they will dry
I promise it's worth it
This isn't a time for goodbye
You'll make it through the night
One night is all that I'll ask of you
Hold on to my words, cause I've been there too
Just live for tomorrow, you'll make it through
Just go to sleep, I'm begging you
This is your sign (Don't feel so blue, oh)
I'll throw you a line (And you'll make it through, oh)
Just know that you've got me (You've got me)
And that you'll be fine (You'll be fine)
And I've seen you cry (I've been there too)
Your tears they will dry (If you only knew)
I promise it's worth it
This isn't a time for goodbye (No goodbye)
You'll make it through the night
