For The Boy Lyrics

The thought of getting older
And regretting things that I have done
Only one thing made me notice
How I failed to keep my precious one

And though I know that
You are with me always
It still makes me cry

How time just passes
I can't believe
How much I miss you
Life keeps blowing past us
I can't believe
That you're not with me (with me)

I lost you in the darkness
A place that I have since become
You know I'd take you with me
But I couldn't stand to hurt your mum

Just know that everyday
I see your face
And wish that you were mine

How time just passes
I can't believe
How much I miss you
Life keeps blowing past us
I can't believe
That you're not with me (with me)

If I had my way
You'd be here with me
But that will never be

It's breaking my heart
That you'll never see
How much you mean to me

How time just passes
I can't believe
How much I miss you
Life keeps blowing past us
I can't believe
That you're not with me (with me)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think it's from the point of view of a man who has gone through a terrible divorce or breakup, and now he is feeling the pain of not being able to be with his son. The mistakes he has made have compromised his ability to have a relationship with the boy as he grows, and he can't believe he could have been so stupid. He only wants his child to be with him, but he knows that the mother is suffering from the separation too, and that she needs her baby with her.
