Forgotten Boy Songtext
von Broken Bells

Words and you′re reading, words on my phone
Your ties to the bond are all gone, the day's way too long
The pain is of healing, the sound is a drawn
Stabbed in the back with a knife, the pain lingers on

Mirror shine, see it haunt
You can′t stand your reflection at all
Water turns into wine
Left your charm after stayin' on your mind


Forgotten boy
Don't understand anymore
Where is the charm
That held your hand? Oh

The nerves you are feeling will leave you alone
It′s all got your needing now, and some you′ve withdrawn
No use concealing, it's too near the bone
A man does his best to rely on nothing at all

Water flows, wheels will turn
Changing all from the stem to the stern
You will learn how to bend
Trust in time, you′ll be jilted again


Forgotten boy
Don't understand anymore
It is the charm
That held your hand, oh
