Lyrics

First, I gave my life to the city It did not give my life to me No, it might have my niche and my name And I contend that this city built me But if you backtrack notes on these napkins From years past, you'll see it just so happens That I'm the same as back then so laugh when It all finds its way back to me Consequences of fear [?] I am nothing but a little boy inside And it hurts to [?] It's almost like I'm stuck inside a school Learning what I forgot, it seems like I can't get it to stick I am nothing but a little boy inside And I'm sorry I fell asleep, it's my mistake My mistake When I dream, I am a submarine Packed with passengers and diving deep [?] and so they say to me Sorry, kid, you gotta leave So I do my best just to have [?] 'Cause I am nothing but a little boy Standoffish at first until you step into my way I am nothing but a little boy inside And it hurts, because it's never gonna change It's almost like I never went to school And [?] the worst part is what they consider fate I am nothing but a little boy inside And I'm sorry, 'cause I got nothing left to say Nothing I am nothing but a little boy
