Good Boy

Never a question to ask, I found myself lost in the past.
Guess I was too young to know, not too old to care.
I wasn't left all alone,
still anxious for reasons unknown.
Maybe I just couldn't tell, or recognize fear.

Years come. Years fade. Circles never end.

Silence is soaked by the rain,
not able to forget the pain.
Apologies always need words,
or that's what I'm told.
Never a reason to break,
for sure it was too much to take.
You never could stand the heat and now it turned cold.

Years come. Years fade. Circles never end.

Way back when I was a good boy.
Way before agony,
before dreams turned to apathy.
Not sure when they lost their good boy,
along with their empathy.
There's no way that leads back to start,
and I'm still afraid of the dark.

There won't be a chorus in this.
There were too many lines you did miss.
The lyrics have withered away like promises made.
I taught myself how to shut up
and acted like I could just cope.
Now I will leave this dying for good.
It must fade away.
Years come. Years fade.

Way back when I was a good boy.
Way before agony. Before dreams turned to apathy.
Not sure when they lost their good boy,
along with their empathy.
There's no way that leads back to start
and I'm still afraid...

It never ends, won't make amends,
But way back when I was a good boy.
Way before agony,
before dreams turned to apathy.
Not sure when they lost their good boy,
along with their empathy.
There's no way that leads back to start.
I'm still afraid of the dark.
Yes, I'm still afraid of the dark.
