When I Was
Just a lonely boy
An ordinary boy
Neglected like a toy that doesn't work
Nothing seems to fit
Crazy to admit
Like a photofit that doesn't match
The angry mob exists
They held him in their fists
Their twisted law persisted everywhere
Such a bitter pill
A hostage to their will
But I won't be their shill ever again
But he don't bother me
It's something I can't see
I left him long ago
Looking for something I don't know
Way back when I was him
I can't go back again
For now the die is cast
Made sure the spell is built to last
So he can't hurt me now
He can't hurt me
Or desert me
He can't hurt me any more
Cos I left him such a very long time ago
When you think the end is nigh
Out comes a butterfly
Emerging to the light
Of a new day
Now she has no fear
Now her head is clear
And now for the first time
She can breathe
But he don't bother me
It's something I can't see
I left him long ago
Looking for something I don't know
Way back when I was him
I can't go back again
For now my die is cast
I've made sure the spell is built to last
He can't hurt me now
He can't hurt me
Or desert me
He can't hurt me any more
Cos I left him such a very long time ago
An ordinary boy
Neglected like a toy that doesn't work
Nothing seems to fit
Crazy to admit
Like a photofit that doesn't match
The angry mob exists
They held him in their fists
Their twisted law persisted everywhere
Such a bitter pill
A hostage to their will
But I won't be their shill ever again
But he don't bother me
It's something I can't see
I left him long ago
Looking for something I don't know
Way back when I was him
I can't go back again
For now the die is cast
Made sure the spell is built to last
So he can't hurt me now
He can't hurt me
Or desert me
He can't hurt me any more
Cos I left him such a very long time ago
When you think the end is nigh
Out comes a butterfly
Emerging to the light
Of a new day
Now she has no fear
Now her head is clear
And now for the first time
She can breathe
But he don't bother me
It's something I can't see
I left him long ago
Looking for something I don't know
Way back when I was him
I can't go back again
For now my die is cast
I've made sure the spell is built to last
He can't hurt me now
He can't hurt me
Or desert me
He can't hurt me any more
Cos I left him such a very long time ago
