Little Boy

You’ve been carrying so much suffering inside 

Ever since you were a little boy 

All these feelings you’ve learned to hide 

The thought of intimacy turns you coy 

 

I will never give up on you 

For you need my love the most 

 

When it becomes unfamiliar to feel safe  

When the storms of chaos feel like home 

When the idea of romance makes you chafe 

Aimlessly, your heart will infinitely roam 

 

I will never give up on you 

For you need my love the most 

 

Is there a cure for your pain? 

Will you keep pushing me away? 

Will you love me or further abstain? 

I can tell you that I want to stay 

 

I will never give up on you 

For you need my love the most
