You Didn't Have To

Thank you, boy, for the beautiful flower

Thank you, boy, for the stars in your eyes

Thank you, boy, for givin' me your finest hour

What a surprise

You didn't have to

Thank you, boy, for the time that we wasted

Thank you, boy, for the things that you said

Thank you, boy, for every strange thought I tasted

You're off your head

You didn't have to

And hearing my story

From your occupied territory

Thank you, boy, for the sound of your voices

Like a hammer or drill

Thank you, boy, for givin' me no choices

You know I will

You didn't have to
