The Boy They Never Saw
He had holes in his worn-out jeans
A beat-up guitar and ripped-up dreams
The world just looked the other way
Said he'd never be okay
She wore a crown of perfect curls
The prettiest girl in the whole wide world
Her friends all said he wasn't enough
She listened when they called his bluff
Five years later he's on the stage
A thousand faces screaming his name
She's in the back she's in the crowd
Wishing she could be more than proud
He was the boy they never saw
Now he's the one breaking the law
Of everything they said he couldn't be
Now he's the face on every TV
She was the one who walked away
Now she's the one who wants to stay
But he's the boy they never saw
And he's already gone
She's working at the local mall
Watching her memories slowly fall
She sees his poster on the wall
Wonders if he thinks of her at all
He's got a million girls in line
But he still remembers that one time
When she turned her back and walked away
He swore he'd find a better way
He was the boy they never saw
Now he's the one breaking the law
Of everything they said he couldn't be
Now he's the face on every TV
She was the one who walked away
Now she's the one who wants to stay
But he's the boy they never saw
And he's already gone
Did you ever think about
What you threw away
Did you ever figure out
The price you had to pay
He was the boy they never saw
Now he's the one breaking the law
Of everything they said he couldn't be
Now he's the face on every TV
She was the one who walked away
Now she's the one who wants to stay
But he's the boy they never saw
And he's already gone
Already gone
Already gone
He's the boy they never saw
Already gone
