boy x

There was a girl

With the toughest of skin

She made sure that everyone around knew that she wasn't sensitive

She walked around

Let nobody in

Thought if she'd never gave her heart away, it'd never end up broken

But boy x, across the street, oh, he was one of a kind

Made her fall in love with only just a look in her eyes

When they wandered off to someone else's for the first time

She cried, and cried, and cried

Next time you move on

Like I know you do

Tell me you won't treat her like you did with me and you

When she falls hard

And a little too soon

Promise you won't promise things you know just won't come true

And don't you dare make her feel like she's the only thing you're seeing, no

Don't do that stupid thing with your eyes unless you mean it

When you get bored, like you always do

Tell me that you'll let her go before you look for someone new

Yeah, this very girl

Brown eyes and blonde ends

No, she never wasted time, but time with him just felt so different

She wrote him songs

Just to watch him listening

A hundred songs, a couple months in

No, she never saw it comin'

Next time boy x, he crossed the street, she'd never see him again

She really thought he was forever, then forever was dead

Left her holdin' up the pieces of her heart by a thread

He left her there to die

Next time you move on

Like I know you do

Tell me you won't treat her like you did with me and you

When she falls hard

And a little too soon

Promise you won't promise things you know just won't come true

And don't you dare make her feel like she's the only thing you're seeing, no

Don't do that stupid thing with your eyes unless you mean it

When you get bored, like you always do

Tell me that you'll let her go before you look for someone new

There was a girl

Not too different from me

She thought she found the world, but then the world found out she's weak

Guess that's okay

No, I just couldn't see

That there was a billion of boy x, but babe, it's only one of me
