Boys

They say boys only know

Who they love, when they’re ready

And girls will hang on

for dear life

They’ll wake up one day and

Decide who they’ll marry

But girls hope their first love

Will make them their wife

And he found somebody, nothing like me

And she got the ring and the cute family

Could never have known that it wouldn’t be me

I don’t think he knew either, the reason he chose her

It’s just the right timing

She was right there

It wouldn’t have mattered

If I was prepared

A boy doesn’t care for the fun or the rare

He chose to be ready

The moment that I wasn’t there

They say boys only process

The heartache much later

And girls will be broken that day

And they always come back when

You’re finally healing

And girls always give all the chances it takes

Then he found somebody, isn’t it strange?

That she got the love and the bricks that I laid

Could never have known I was paving the way

For him to be ready, oh isn’t it funny?

It’s just the right timing

She was right there

It wouldn’t have mattered

If I was prepared

A boy doesn’t care for the fun or the rare

He chose to be ready

The moment that I wasn’t there

There, there, there I said it

There, there, I was unprepared

There, guess I’m not so rare

When I was right there

There, there, there, I’ll be okay

There, there, she doesn’t know I’m here

Here, I’ll try to not compare

When I was right there

It’s just the right timing

She was right there

It wouldn’t have mattered

If I was prepared

A boy doesn’t care for the fun or the rare

He chose to be ready

The moment that I wasn’t there
