[Part I]

[Verse 1]

Ever since I was a small boy

No one else compared to you, no way

I always thought heroes stayed close

Whenever troubled times arose

I didn't know

Ain't always how it goes

[Verse 2]

Every single word you told me

I believed without a question, always

To save all of us, you told us both to trust

But now I know you only saved yourself

[Chorus]

Did you think I'd never know?

Never wise up as I grow?

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]

And you could store an ocean in the holes

In any of the explanations that you gave

And while you still had time, you had a chance

But you decided to take all your sorrys to the grave

[Chorus]

Did you think I'd never know?

Never wise up as I grow?

Did you hope I'd never doubt?

Never one day work it out?

[Part II]

[Verse 3]

You were runnin' for cover

Doin' like any other

Fallin' out with a lover

You didn't know that I suffered

What a thing to discover

If there was time to recover

One-on-one with each other

Just a boy and a father

What I'd give for another

Everything that I have

Wouldn't need this for long

Never speak of the time

That you left us alone

Me and Steve on our own

[Refrain]

I wanna tell you 'bout the time

Wanna tell you 'bout my life

Wanna play you all my songs

Learn the words, sing along

[Verse 4]

(This time) Wanna tell you 'bout the time

(I know) I was in Abbey Road

Or the time that I had

Mick Jagger on the phone

I thought of you when we spoke

[Refrain]

Wanna tell you 'bout the time

Wanna tell you 'bout my life

Wanna play you all my songs

Hear your voice sing along

[Verse 5]

(This time) I wanna say, "It's all right"

(I know) You're just a man after all

And I know you had demons

I got some of my own

I think you passed them along

[Refrain]

Wanna tell you 'bout the time

Wanna tell you 'bout my life

Wanna play you all my songs

And hear your voice sing along
