Boys at Play

boys at play

so hard for a gurl
after hearing all the lines
to believe any boy

each time try to be open
my heart played with
like a toy
played with
til it's broken

so tell me
tell me you're different
tell me not to worry
tell me you want me
there isn't any hurry
tell me
no, promise
that you will stay
hold me
make me believe
there's a man out there
who is honest
not just boys at play

i close my eyes
count to ten
try to forget
all the lines i've heard
all the words whispered
all the next day regrets
focus on you
try to believe
what you've said

tell me you're different
tell me not to worry
tell me you want me
there isn't any hurry
tell me
no, promise
that you will stay
hold me
make me believe
there's a man out there
who is honest
not just boys at play

scared to let you in
scared you might walk out
can i risk my heart again
another scar
another doubt
hate that fear seeps in
will i ever win
this game
just boys at play

show me you're different
show me i don't need to worry
show me you want me
you don't want to hurry
show me
no, promise
that you will stay
hold me
make me believe
there's a man out there
who is honest
and won't go away
tired of boys at play

so hard for a gurl
after hearing all the lines
to believe any boy

each time try to be open
my heart played with
like a toy
played with
til it's broken
