story of a boy

(Hmm)

I remember being told I wasn't good enough for him
And that he was bound to let me go
Now I believed that he was for real and it wasn't just a show
But he disagreed and he was sure to let me know

And so it goes
The story of a boy who was left to stand alone
When he thought he had it all he was dropped to fall
Oh, back when life was good and in the way that it should be
Hmm

(Hmm)

Does he remember being told he could have so much more than me?
That's the question everyone will pose
With his piercing green eyes and the hazelnut hair
And a sunshine smile of gold
I could not compete with them and he knows

And so it goes
The story of a boy who was left to stand alone
When he thought he had it all he was dropped to fall
Oh, back when life was good and in the way that it should be
Hmm

(Hmm, hmm)
(Hmm)

But it was his fault, no
I did not do anything wrong
I was prepared to love him with all of my heart

Yes, he's the one who missed out on me
And though I can't say he's wrong
I was hoping I could get a little more than being left alone

And so it goes
The story of a boy who was left to stand alone
When he thought he had it all he was dropped to fall
Oh, back when life was good and in the way that it should be
Hmm
