I fall for pretty, dumb boys
With slow smiles that can light up the sky
They don’t know anything about pain
So they try to help everyone they can
They’re too naive to understand that they cant
Or shouldn’t
As much as you can’t stop the sun settling down over the horizon
Passing it’s daily guard to the watchful moon
She protects the nights hush with blanketing the air
The stillness helps us sleep
Except that one person who fights to stays awake
Not trusting of the moon to defend the silence
Or the sun to rise and start a new day
Each new day brings new pain
And I’m not yet finished with yesterday’s
No matter what pretty, innocent boy tries to help
