The Boy I Used to Know by Tony Lyrics

(Verse 1)
I used to shiver at the thought
Of being firm to somebody
But all of that was in the past
Because I’m now in authority

(Pre-Chorus)
I will not hold my tongue or let you control me
I won’t submit to you because you don’t own me
I’m leaving you behind
Making sure that you’re resigned

(Chorus)
Because I’m saying goodbye
To the boy I used to know
To the boy that wasn’t bold
And I’ll become the man that is powerful

(Verse 2)
You were the cause of all of my scars
And all the times I stopped breathing
Now I wear my scars like a cape
To show that I’m standing fearless
(Pre-Chorus)
I will not hold my tongue or let you control me
I won’t submit to you because you don’t own me
I’m leaving you behind
Making sure that you’re resigned


(Chorus)
Because I’m saying goodbye
To the boy I used to know
To the boy that wasn’t bold
And I’ll become the man that is powerful

(Chorus)
Because I’m saying goodbye
To the boy I used to know
To the boy that wasn’t bold
And I’ll become the man that is powerful

(Bridge)
The ghost that you abused will soon haunt you [2x]

(Chorus)
Because I’m saying goodbye
To the boy I used to know
To the boy that wasn’t bold
And I’ll become the man that is powerful
Because I’m saying goodbye
To the boy I used to know
To the boy that wasn’t bold
And I’ll become the man that is powerful
