the boy who played the harp - weglobe lyrics

[intro]
my father taught me this harp before the war took him
my mother died when the bombs fell
i’m all that’s left

[verse 1]
daddy taught me how to play before they sent him off to fight
he said “son, when i’m gone, play this harp every night”
he never came back home, they said he died a hero’s death
i was seven years old holding mama, trying to catch her breath

[verse 2]
the war came to our town, took everything we had
bombs fell on our street, i watchеd mama die real bad
my brothers, my sistеrs, buried under all that stone
i crawled out of the rubble, just me and this harp alone

[chorus]
i’m the boy who played the harp
the only one left in the dark
everyone i loved is dead and gone
so i play daddy’s songs
just to feel like i belong
the boy who played the harp
all alone
[verse 3]
grew up in the ruins with nothing but this sound
played for scr*ps of food from people still around
they looked at me with pity, called me the orphan boy
but this harp’s the only family i got left to hold

[verse 4]
tried to love a woman, thought maybe i could start again
she left when she found out i got nothing but this pain
said i’m broken, said i’m empty, said there’s nothing left inside
she was right, i died with them, just my body still alive

[chorus]
i’m the boy who played the harp
got a hole inside my heart
where my family used to be
now it’s just this harp and me
the boy who played the harp
barely holding on

[bridge]
sometimes i hear daddy’s voice
teaching me to play
sometimes i see mama’s face
before the bombs that day
my brothers and my sisters
i can’t remember all their names
i keep playing this d*mn harp
but nothing stays the same
[verse 5]
every woman leaves, every friend walks away
they can see the death in my eyes, see i got nothing left to say
i tried to build a life but everything just falls apart
guess death follows you when you’re the boy who played the harp

[chorus]
i’m the boy who played the harp
survivor with a broken heart
should’ve died there with the rest
but i’m cursed to keep on living
while everyone keeps leaving
the boy who played the harp
wishing it would end

[outro]
they’re all gone
every single one
and i’m still here
playing this harp
daddy’s harp
