I Ain’t Your Boy (Live on Alex Irons Presents)

[Verse 1]
I see the pictures on the wall
The time, the place, I don't recall
I can't swear I was there at all
Or if I'm here now
I hear the way you talk to me
It's like you're asking silently
To make it like it used to be
But I just don't know how

[Chorus]
'Cause I ain't your boy
I ain't your boy
I ain't your boy
No, I ain't your boy
I ain't your boy

[Post-Chorus]
But I sleep in his bed
And I sleep with his wife
I know all of his friends
I inhabit his life

[Verse 2]
I watch him on the videos
The shaggy hair, the funny clothes
The naked lip beneath the nose
A muscle memory
You wonder loudly where he is
And why he never reappears
I try to tell you through the tears
I haven't seen that kid for years

[Chorus]
And I ain't your boy
I ain't your boy
Ain't your boy
No, I ain't your boy
I ain't your boy

[Bridge]
And you're never gonna get him back
Oh, you're never gonna get him back
Oh, nothing's gonna bring him back
Oh, nothing's gonna bring him back
If you narrow your blue eyes then
I could be him, from way back when
And I won't mind
There is no shame if you kiss me and call me his name

[Chorus]
I ain't your boy
I ain't your boy
I ain't your boy
No, I ain't your boy
I ain't your boy
Oh, you're never gonna get him back
Oh, you're never gonna get him back
Oh, nothing's gonna bring him back
Nothing's gonna bring him back
And if you narrow your blue eyes then
I could be him, from way back when
And I won't mind there is no shame
If you kiss me and call me his name
