LYRICS
As a young man
I thought I knew everything
I thought I knew how to live
Completely clueless
When two thousand and five was the worst year of my life
You made it good
When I thought no-one could
But I was just a boy when I met you
Shouldn’t have let you in but I wanted to
On the night you left
I heard everything you’d say
I crumbled and crawled away
I woke up in an alleyway
Cos that night I raised my fist and in my fist I raised my drink
I drank to broken limbs
To bloodied lips
To losing all you thought you wanted
But I was just a boy when I met you
I shouldn’t have let you in but I wanted to
It was two thousand and five I thought this loss might be my life
Oh but I was just a boy when I met you
Seventeen and you think you know it all
Nineteen and you think you know it all
But I knew
I was just a boy when I met you.
