Just Another Boy

You’re just another love song 

On replay in my head

You’re just another thought passing by 

When I’m lying in my bed  

You’re just a bad distraction 

from the things I need to do. 

You’re just another boy

And I want to get rid of you. 

 

And to you, I’m just a girl

That you see in the hall. 

I’m just your friend’s best friend 

That’s too shy to talk at all. 

I’m the odd one out 

But you wonder and doubt 

If I belong with them at all. 

 

And I’ve tried and tried and tried 

To tell myself you’re no different from the rest. 

I won’t be able to take this 

I’ve already cried all the tears built up in my chest. 

I’m screaming at myself

“Don’t put yourself thought this!”

And then I look into your eyes,

And those thoughts are dismissed. 

 


I remember why I play the love song on repeat

I remember why I think about you when I’m trying to sleep

I remember why I distract myself with your laugh and your voice. 

You’re not just a boy. 

And I don’t want to get rid of you. 

But it might save me some pain

If I could find someone new.

Im such a hopeless romantic, and I tend to fall too hard for people who hardly know I exist.
