When it started, it started with a mop headed boy who whispered sweet love songs and told me he'd never walk away After five years of falling at his feet And pulling and pushing at his heart to love me too He told me I was overbearing and walked away
Then it started again with a boy with glass frames and his acoustic best friend that documented his pain He said he knew pain better than anyone He was more broken then me He ended up using me to try and heal his pain As if my body was a book you could check out and return He sung like a God but was the devil in disguise He told me this was all my fault and walked away
When it started again it was winter time He said I sounded sweet and my heart was a beautiful piece of poetry But he stepped on my heart early on in the beginning Waltzing back to an old lover he saw life with He told me I wasn't the one and walked away
It started again in Summer This boy was calm and sad But told me I was a sunflower despite all my storms That lit up his gloomy world He showed me his bruises On his heart He told me he wanted love, just not with me He told me he wanted a family, just not with me and walked away
When it happened again it was winter once more Before he met me He might've been dead That's what he said So I thought I saved him from himself But even mountain tops couldn't make him feel alive Neither could I He said he was too sad to give me love back and then walked away
When it happened again it was Spring He worked too much and hated distance He had an addiction to driving down roads It gave him adrenaline Gave him a rush under his skin Something I could never do I gave him my innocence Then he told he couldn't bare to love me with a workload and then walked away
There's a boy with an Elvis comb over He tells me I'm pretty and compares me to air Says wearing your heart on your sleeve is for fools He says that's how you get hurt But if that's true, then I'm damaged goods I suppose He looks like his mother and smells like vanilla His dreams are so big and bold But his mind was his greatest enemy It convinced him loving me wasn't worth the risk He told me he needs time alone and then walks away
