Boy - Ira Wolf

It’s dawn when you are darkest

I wait for the light

And I have tried my hardest

But nothin' that I do makes you shine

When you’re here, you are not here

I wonder where it is your mind goes

'Cause it’s quiet

Oh, but I can’t feel the silence anymore

Don’t I deserve feelin' like I’m worth someone who gives a damn?

I don’t know why I’ve given all my time to a boy who won’t be a man

I swore up and down that I could, but now I’m not sure that I can

'Cause a person has a limit of just how much indifference they’ll stand

Don’t I deserve feelin' like I’m worth someone who gives a damn?

I don’t know why I’m wastin' all my time on a boy who won’t be a man

I have loved, I do love

And surely I’ll just keep on lovin' you

But now it’s from a distance

This apathy is somethin' I can’t do

'Cause I deserve knowin' that I’m worth someone who gives a damn

And I’ve had enough of givin' all my love to a boy who won’t be a man

To a boy who won’t be a man

You’re a boy, and I need a man
