Boys Break the Things They Love the Most
Boys, boys, boys, boys, little boys
Bows and arrows for their toys
With gentle voices and open hands
To show you treasures and secret plans
Just to make a man
Boys, boys, boys, boys all settle down
They'll take some time to find somewhere then
Find someone
They'll stop jumping to take a slow dance
Tell you now they understand
What makes a man
Boys break the things they love the most
Spend nights crying about it on their own
They're so strong and young and weak and old
But they'll walk beside you on the road
And they'll take you with them when they go
Boys, boys, boys, boys grown boys
Breaking bones and hearts in broken voices
Taking love to bits again
Trying get it fixed, then failing
To be a man
Boys break the things they love the most
Spend nights crying about it on their own
They're so strong and young and weak and old
But they'll walk beside you on the road
And they'll take you with them when they go
