I Ain’t Your Boy (Live on Alex Irons Presents)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I see the pictures on the wall The time, the place, I don't recall I can't swear I was there at all Or if I'm here now I hear the way you talk to me It's like you're asking silently To make it like it used to be But I just don't know how [Chorus] 'Cause I ain't your boy I ain't your boy I ain't your boy No, I ain't your boy I ain't your boy [Post-Chorus] But I sleep in his bed And I sleep with his wife I know all of his friends I inhabit his life [Verse 2] I watch him on the videos The shaggy hair, the funny clothes The naked lip beneath the nose A muscle memory You wonder loudly where he is And why he never reappears I try to tell you through the tears I haven't seen that kid for years [Chorus] And I ain't your boy I ain't your boy Ain't your boy No, I ain't your boy I ain't your boy [Bridge] And you're never gonna get him back Oh, you're never gonna get him back Oh, nothing's gonna bring him back Oh, nothing's gonna bring him back If you narrow your blue eyes then I could be him, from way back when And I won't mind There is no shame if you kiss me and call me his name [Chorus] I ain't your boy I ain't your boy I ain't your boy No, I ain't your boy I ain't your boy Oh, you're never gonna get him back Oh, you're never gonna get him back Oh, nothing's gonna bring him back Nothing's gonna bring him back And if you narrow your blue eyes then I could be him, from way back when And I won't mind there is no shame If you kiss me and call me his name
