she’s so hopelessly in love with him she doesn’t know what to do
with 3am phone calls and meaningless “i love you’s”
he’s what she calls a boy easier to look at than the setting sun
but when she sees him she almost turns to run
when her heart skips a beat that’s how she knows
that he’s the one for her from his head to his toes
but he can’t see what’s right in front of him
and the light once shone on the brunette boy is beginning to dim
yet she would still do anything to get to the boy who’s toyed with her heart
even though so many times he’s torn her apart
she can’t stop herself from falling for this heartbreak of a boy
so her feelings for another have just become a decoy
when her heart skips a beat that’s how she knows
that he’s the one for her from his head to his toes
but he can’t see what’s right in front of him
and the light once shone on the brunette boy is beginning to dim
a decoy from the one she knows she truly needs
he breaks her heart, and again, she bleeds
she’s been broken because of him so many times
and of course it’s him that has lead to these same old rhymes
when her heart skips a beat that’s how she knows
that he’s the one for her from his head to his toes
but he can’t see what’s right in front of him
and the light once shone on the brunette boy is beginning to dim
so please, if you’re hearing this, you let her down
you should trust me when i tell you not to come back around
because she’s done and she’s over you
even if you were keeping her together and acting as her glue
when her heart skips a beat that’s how she knows
that he’s the one for her from his head to his toes
but he can’t see what’s right in front of him
and the light once shone on the brunette boy is beginning to dim
she doesn’t need this pain and sorrow
so those 3am calls won’t happen tomorrow
