lyrics

You’re just a boy
In a world of sharks
You’re just the board
In a game of darts

And it’s nothing new
So baby don’t take offense
And don’t be afraid
Of not making sense

Because it wouldn’t be the first time
No it wouldn’t be the first time

If ever you’re scared
Then quit acting tough
It’s only self defense
And now enough is enough

If ever you think
It just isn’t your fault
Take a look at yourself
Busy falling apart

Because it wouldn’t be the first time
No it wouldn’t be the first time

It wouldn’t be the first time
No it wouldn’t be the first time
