The Boy Who Broke My Heart
I'm packing up boxes
You're saying you're sorry
'Cause you promised forever
Now you say you don't want me
And I know one day you'll be a distant memory
I won't remember all the ways you made a mess of me
And I'll be okay
Oh my God, I can't wait
'Til I can honestly say
That now you're just a chapter in a journal that I'll never read again
'Til we're so far gone and I can laugh about it
And a lesson that I'll teach when my daughter falls in love
And if that boy breaks her heart, that's when I'll tell her 'bout us
'Bout the boy I thought I knew when I was young and so naive
How he took all I could give
'Til he had enough of me
And I'll point to her father
And say, "Thank God, for the boy who broke my heart"
'Cause he led me to the one
We'll be unpacking boxes
Got a place in the city
'Cause I won't have any question
He'd go anywhere with me
And it'll all be clear
You'll be a distant memory
I won't look back on you and I
'Cause now it's him and me
And I'll be happier than I knew anyone could be
(Oh, oh)
'Cause now you're just a chapter in a journal that I'll never read again
'Til we're so far gone and I can laugh about it (Uh-huh)
And a lesson that I'll teach when my daughter falls in love
And if that boy breaks her heart, that's when I'll tell her 'bout us
'Bout the boy I thought I knew when I was young and so naive
How he took all I could give
'Til he had enough of me
And I'll point to her father
And say, "Thank God, for the boy who broke my heart"
'Cause he led me to the one
Your name will be just another name
And your face will fade
It'll be replaced
By sweeter things
Sweeter memories
Yeah your face will fade
'Cause now you're just a chapter in a journal that I'll never read again
'Til we're so far gone and I can laugh about it
And a lesson that I'll teach when my daughter falls in love (Uh-huh)
And if that boy breaks her heart, that's when I'll tell her 'bout us (About us)
'Bout the boy I thought I knew when I was young and so naive (Oh-oh)
How he took all I could give
'Til he had enough of me
And I'll point to her father (I'll point to her father and say)
And say, "Thank God, for the boy who broke my heart"
'Cause he led me to the one
You're saying you're sorry
'Cause you promised forever
Now you say you don't want me
And I know one day you'll be a distant memory
