The stars reached back
Each night
When I prayed that I would wake up and the pain would be over
And that everything everyone had ever said to me
And every name they had ever called me

The worst, shittiest nightmare of a dream
That never ended
No...

The pain will never go away, it just stays.
Everyday he tried to keep his head held high,
but everything would change in just ten days.

They said boys will be boys, it’s just a phase,

That you at times can not contain it.
You enjoy playing with your toys,
And I say "Boys will be Boys."
I know nothing seems easy for you,

boys will be boys,
they love the joys in life,
no matter how old they are.
they think they're invincible,

Gentlemen, listen to me now
Each of you, must hear what...

They always say, "boys will be boys," and leave it at that.
No one will try to fix the situation because boys will be boys.
They let him be stupid, abusive, and sexual because boys will be boys.
And I can't fix that.
I can't fix that because I'm...

I save memories of four boys, ~~not three,
They got out two toys, gameboy that would be,
My they have grown, they are aged differently,
Day not as smooth, as I make it, ~~you see,
Why did the older two, ~~play sneakily,
Made the brothers to be angry, ~~like me,
