The Boy From Class
Unveiling Life's Fragility: The Boy from Class
Lyrics
I barely knew the boy from class
I had minimal acquaintance with the boy from my class
We didn't talk too much
We didn't communicate much
Cuz I was hiding in the back
I stayed in the background, avoiding attention
And he sat in the front
He sat at the front of the class
He was always joking with his friends
He frequently joked with his friends, maintaining a cheerful demeanor
A smile on his face
He often wore a smile on his face
Out of everyone I never guessed
Surprisingly, out of everyone, I never anticipated it would end tragically
That it would end this way
His life took an unexpected turn
He was only was seventeen
He was only seventeen years old
There's so much that he's missed
There are many experiences and opportunities he will never have
I just turned 21
I recently turned 21
And I've barely even lived
I feel like I haven't fully experienced life yet
That's the hardest part
The most challenging aspect is realizing he was so young
Cuz I still got my life ahead
I still have my whole life ahead of me
And it hurts to think that his is really over
It's painful to accept that his life has truly ended
Cuz I keep getting older
The awareness that I continue to age adds to the sorrow
I barely knew the boy from class
I barely knew the boy from class (repetition)
We spoke a word or two
We exchanged only a few words
But I could always hear him laugh
I could always hear his laughter from a distance
From way across the room
Even though we didn't interact much, his joy was noticeable
So when I heard the news
Upon hearing the news, I was genuinely surprised
It really took me by surprise
The revelation of his struggles caught me off guard
How somebody as kind as him
It's difficult to comprehend how someone so kind could be in so much pain
Could hurt so much inside
His inner turmoil was not apparent to those around him
He was only was seventeen
He was only seventeen years old (repetition)
There's so much that he's missed
There are numerous experiences he will never get to know
I just turned 21
I recently turned 21 (repetition)
And I've barely even lived
I feel like I haven't fully experienced life yet (repetition)
That's the hardest part
The most challenging aspect is realizing he was so young (repetition)
Cuz I still got my life ahead
I still have my whole life ahead of me (repetition)
And it hurts to think that his is really over
It's painful to accept that his life has truly ended (repetition)
Cuz I keep getting older
The awareness that I continue to age adds to the sorrow (repetition)
