He said I was pretty
This boy of fifteen
He can’t even drive but thinks he knows what love means
We walked through the woods with just a flashlight
And we walked and talked and got lost in the night
There was laughter and tears and secrets that were shared
He gave me his jacket and held my hand when I got scared
He said he’d treat me better than anyone ever had
And he promised to never let me be sad
He said all the things that I wanted them to say
All the people that I loved but refused to stay
His face is so sad and his words are so sweet
I leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek
For I know he’ll meet someone young and kind
With a contagious laugh and a beautiful mind
And he’ll hold her hand when she gets scared
And surprise her with hugs just to show that he cares
But for tonight I’m glad it was me
For tonight
He tells me I’m pretty.
