Oh, I've had infatuations
And sweet obsessions before
They filled me up for a selfish moment
And I made them out to be more than they were
And now I'm paying for throwing it around
I go unheard when what I'm saying
Is finally profound and you're sick of the sound
Of the boy who cried love
And nobody came running
All the false alarms still hovering
Love, too many times carelessly
But now it's true and you don't believe me
What can I do to change how you see me?
Don't want to know that kind of lonely
The boy who cried love
I'm sweeping up all those promises
That I will never make again
They weren't the kind you tell a trusting heart
They were just designed to win
Now it's you and I'm sorry
Don't let me become
The star of the story
Have you heard the one?
About the boy who cried love
And nobody came running
All the false alarms still hovering
Love, too many times carelessly
But now it's true and you don't believe me
What can I do to change how you see me?
Don't want to know that kind of lonely
The boy who cried love, love, love
We all want to be amazed
Romanticized through the smokey haze
It stings our eyes and steals the days of you
And the boy who cried love
And nobody came running
All the false alarms still hovering
Love, too many times carelessly
But now it's true and you don't believe me
What can I do to change how you see me?
Don't want to know that kind of lonely
The boy who cried love, the boy who cried love
