[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 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?

[Verse 3]
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]

[Intro]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
I wanna tell you 'bout the time
Wanna tell you 'bout my life
Wanna play all my songs
Know the words? Sing along

[Verse 2]
(This time) Wanna tell you 'bout the time
I was in Abbey Road
Or the time that I had Mick Jagger on the phone
I thought of you when he spoke
[Chorus]
I wanna tell you 'bout the time
Wanna tell you 'bout my life
Wanna play all my songs
Hear your voice, sing along

[Verse 3]
(This time) I wanna say "its alright"
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

[Chorus]
I wanna tell you 'bout the time
Wanna tell you 'bout my life
Wanna play all my songs
Hear your voice, sing along
