I'm gnawing on the knowledge that I have been burnt
And I'm learning things that I should've already learnt
Everyone I ever knew was so kind and coy
I was with a girl, but it felt like I was with a boy
I can't even remember
If we were lovers, or if I just wanted to
But I held her in my arms, I held her in my arms
I held her in my arms, but it wasn't you
I will not kill the one thing that I love
In this world of wreckage, I look above
Said help me, Lord
Help me understand what it means to be a boy
What it means to be a man
I can't even remember
If we were lovers, or if I just wanted to
But I held her in my arms, I held her in my arms
I held her in my arms, but it wasn't you
