Lyrics Richard Marx

Richard Marx

Big Boy Now

I've been searching

Not the first or the last

Trying to figure out the mystery of the half empty glass

Time is turning for the rest of the world

While a temporary leap of faith helps the story unfurl

They say that hearts don't stay broken

Even though the scars remain

And eyes don't stay swollen

Even if it feels that way

But it's not that serious

I'm a big boy now

And I'm not delirious

So don't show me how

Cause I've gotten beyond the agony

And my perspective is saving me

Never doubted what the cards would reveal

And if the joker showed his ugly face

Not that big of a deal

It's just a moment in the scheme of it all

But it's difficult to visualize when the axe starts to fall

But then a heart won't stay broken

Even on its darkest day

The right door could open

Pick you up and drift away

But it's not that serious

I'm a big boy now

And I'm not delirious

So don't show me how

Cause I've gotten beyond the agony

And my perspective is saving me

With all the confusion

How does anybody come through

But life is illusion

And no one can tell you what you've gotta do

You know a heart won't stay broken

Even on its darkest day

The right door could open

Pick you up and drift away

But it's not that serious

I'm a big boy now

And I'm not delirious

So don't show me how

Cause I've gotten beyond the agony

And my perspective is saving me

Saving me, yeah

Saving me

Yeah yeah
