What happened to the boy

What happened to the boy
who used to smile
who used to make me happy
but it lasted only a while

what happened to the boy
who used to have fun
playing games with me, not on me
and always being on the run

what happened to the boy
who used to care
who grew up selfish
but with me he shared

what happened to the boy
who used to romance me
with walks by the lake
and flowers and candy

What happened to the boy
who used to love
who thought i was his angel
sent from above

what happened to the boy i
fell in love with
who promised me the stars and moon
but your promises came up empty
you left me alone in a room

full of heartache and sadness
and everything in between
why did you have to hurt me
how could you be so mean

He grew into a man
full of anger and despair
that he hides his true feelings
and pretends he doesn't care

If he could only find that
boy inside him and tell him its OK
to feel the way he used to
instead of pushing me away

So we could be happy together
like we used to be back then
When all we had was each other
when you were my love, my friend

Please find him in a hurry
don't let these years be in vain
i promise I'll be yours forever
through the sunshine and the rain

I know that i have hurt you
i know I've made you cry
let me help you get past the pain
that you carry so deep inside

you loved me once you can love me again
this much i know is true
if you give me the key to your heart again
I'll know what to do

I'll keep it close, never lose it
never throw it away,
i loved you then, i love you now,
I'll love you for the rest of my days
