i'm not a man
i'm a boy
inside my mind
i'm still a child
i have so much growing to do
i don't want to grow up with you
there are some times i have to be a man
to act like an adult
for others, sometimes even for myself
but i don't want to
i'm peter pan
i don't grow up
and be a man
and with you, i feel so small
so young, so scared
it's like i never grew at all
i'm old, two decades
and i feel it a lot more than i should
but you've reverted me
to something i didn't i could be
the years stole it away
they buried it deep inside
but now it's come out of hiding
to play
