Lyrics for The Boys

It won't be easy, you'll think it's strange When I try to explain how I feel And that I still need your love After all that I've done You won't believe me All you will see is a girl you once knew Although she's dressed up to the nines At sixes and sevens with you I had to let it happen, I had to change Couldn't stay all my life down at heel Looking out of the window Staying out of the sun So I choose freedom Running 'round, trying everything new But nothing impressed me at all Well I never expected it too Don't cry for me, Argentina The truth is I never left you All through my wild days, my mad existence I kept my promise, don't keep your distance As for fortune and as for fame Well I never invited them in Though it seems to the world They were all I desired They were illusions They're not the solutions they promised to be The answer was here all the time I love you and hope you love me Don't cry for me, Argentina The truth is I never left you All through my wild days, my mad existence I kept my promise, don't keep your distance I kept my promise, don't keep your distance
