Real Boy (Hurt Version)

[Verse 1]
All my robot dreams
I'm holding by this string
I'm stuck as I sit and watch all the others
I'm not quite like them
I have no heart or brain and
If I had a chance to be like them just for a day

[Chorus]
What I'd give to be a real boy
I would trade this soul away
And I will deal with all the bullies, all the schoolwork
If I could just have a single day
And I'll make my parents mad
And I'll cry when I get sad
But in the end, I'd be a happy kid
If I had a chance to be a real boy

[Verse 2]
My painted metal parts
You can tell they probably don't get me that far
I really wish I could run away from this place
I've seen some scary things
I've also been them too
But if I had a choice, I would try not to scare you

[Chorus]
What I'd give to be a real boy
I would trade this soul away
And I will deal with all the bullies, all the schoolwork
If I could just have a single day
And I'll make my parents mad
And I'll cry when I get sad
But in the end, I'd be a happy kid
If I had a chance to be a real boy

[Bridge]
If I could leave this place behind
I would do it in a heartbeat
With no second thoughts
But like I said before, I have no heart that beats
And I have no brain with thoughts
I'm here to stay it seems

[Chorus]
What I'd give to be a real boy
I would trade this soul away
And I will deal with all the bullies, all the schoolwork
If I could just have a single day
And I'll make my parents mad
And I'll cry when I get sad
But in the end, I'd be a happy kid
If I had a chance to be a real boy
