I knew a boy once
Eyes like a storm
And he was a good kid
They just read him wrong
He grew up in a harsh world
He was told who to be
Never had any freedom
Or a mind to speak
He's a boy who has been told to simply numb down any pain
He was told who to hate
Who to love
What his fate would be if he changed
And all boys like him are boys that will never be okay
Taught to keep it inside
To not ruin his pride
Oh all boys are the same
Just hurt and afraid
This boy he fell in love with hazel brown eyes
And soft curly hair that smelt like July
He kept it a secret cause he knew (oh cause he knew)
That all of his friends and his family
Would never say that they approve
He's a boy who has been told to simply numb down any pain
He was told who to hate
Who to love
What his fate would be if he changed
And all boys like him are boys that will never be okay
Taught to keep it inside
To not ruin his pride
Oh all boys are the same
Just hurt and afraid
Hurt and afraid
All boys are the same
(All boys are the same)
He's a boy who has been told to simply numb down any pain
He was told who to hate
Who to love
What his fate would be if he changed
And all boys like him are boys that will never be okay
Taught to keep it inside
To not ruin his pride
Oh all boys are the same
Just hurt and afraid
