All that infatuations and sweet obsessions before
|
They fill me up for a selfish moment
|
And I made them out to be more than they were
|
Now I'm paying, but throwing it around
|
I go unheard with what I'm saying
|
It's finally profound and you're sick of the sound
|
|
Of the boy who cried love
|
Nobody came running all the false alarms still hovering
|
Loved too many times too carelessly
|
And now it's true and you don't believe me
|
What can I do to change how you see me?
|
Don't want to know that kind of lonely
|
The boy who cried love, love... love
|
|
I'm sweeping up all those promises
|
That I will never make again
|
They were the kind you tell a trusting heart
|
They were just designed to win
|
Now it's you and I'm sorry, don't let me become
|
The star of the story have you heard the one
|
|
About the boy who cried love
|
Nobody came running all the false alarms still hovering
|
Loved too many times too carelessly
|
And now it's true and you don't believe me
|
What can I do to change how you see me?
|
Don't want to know that kind of lonely
|
Boy who cried love, love... love
|
|
We all want to be amazed, romanticized through the smokey haze,
|
Stings our eyes, steals the days of you...
|
|
And the boy who cried love
|
Nobody came running all the false alarms still hovering
|
Loved too many times too carelessly
|
And now it's true and you don't believe me
|
What can I do to change how you see me?
|
Don't want to know that kind of lonely
|
Boy who cried love, boy who cried love
|
