The Boy [That Was] [Live]

I think that I've realized
I would rather be your friend
I've tried out the nice guys
And found myself here again
I wanted so badly to want you
I don't know how to get that through
I'm not made for blue

I fought for that name, but really just fought out the noise
Then I watch the T.V.
And see what I'm trying to avoid

And it's bigger than you
But you tell me each day
With your perfect kind eyes
And the things that you say

I cannot love you
Not how I should
It took some time to figure it out
And I'd take it all back if I could
I cannot love you
Not how I should
I know it hurts, but for what it's worth
I tried as hard as I could
For the boy that was good

I really miss you, but telling you that would be cruel
'Cause caring that much for someone that can't makes a fool
I've been the you in this timeline
There is no way to do it right
Just takes some time

I cannot love you, not how I should
Now you're supposed to figure it out
And I've left you alone in the woods
I cannot love you, not how I should
I know it hurts, but for what it's worth
I tried as hard as I could
For the boy that was good

I cannot love you, not how I should
I know it hurts, but for what it's worth
I tried as hard as I could
For the boy that was
