Haydn Conniff - boy x Lyrics

There was a boy with the toughest of skin. He made sure that everyone around knew that he wasn't sensitive
He walked around, letting nobody in. Thought if he ever gave his heart away, it'd never end up broke
But boy, ex across the street, oh, he was one of a kind. Made him fall in love with only just the look in his eye
When they wandered off to someone else's for the first time, he cried and cried and cried

Next time you move on, like I know you'll do. Promise you won't promise things you know just won't come true
And when he falls hard and a little too soon, promise you won't treat him like you did with me and you and on you
Don't make him feel like he's the only thing you see and no, don't do that stupid thing with your eyes unless you mean it
And when you get bored like you always do, tell me that you'll let him go before you look for someone new

Yeah, this very boy with black hair and blue eyes. No, he never wasted time, but time with him just felt so different
He wrote him songs, never showed him anything. A hundred songs a couple months in
No, he never saw it coming next time, boy, ex across the street, he'll never see him again
He really thought he was forever, then forever was dead. Left him holding out the pieces of his heart like Fred

He left him there to die
Next time you move on, like I know you'll do. Tell me you won't treat him like you did with me and you and when he falls hard and a little too soon
Tell me you won't promise things you know just won't come true and don't you dare make him feel like he's the only thing you see and don't do that stupid thing with your eyes unless you mean it
And when you get bored, cause you always do, tell him that you'll let him go before you look for someone new

There was a boy, not too different from me. He thought he found the world, but then the world found out he'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
You
