Track: Boy X

Lyrics
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 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'll 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 coming

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 holding up the pieces of her heart by a thread
He left her there to die

Next time you move on, like I know you'll 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 her world but then the world found out she's weak
Guess that's okay
No, I just couldn't see
That there's a billion of boy x but babe, there's only one of me
