Good Boys

How could a good boy gone so wrong?
She said, and then the words just slipped
From my mouth
You're a liar, a thief
Her hands were never beside her
She was always taking from me
What wasn't hers
What she could hide
But I want those years of my life
The feeling of first love again
The feeling you only get once
The ones I waited on
Before I let you live
So talk to me
About what, about you
What's there to talk about?
I wanna hear you say that you never knew me at all
But that's not true
I wanted this so badly
See things change
No you just moved away
And the further you went, the less you wanted to stay
I wish I could've said something cool to make you listen
But the only thing that came to mind
Was how much I'd be missing you
And missing this
When everything is brought to light
Then we see that everything's just not alright
So let's be honest
Is that a stretch?
I'm what's coming and you are the blessed
But I'm not the saint as before I let you in
So talk to me
About what, about you
What's there to talk about?
I wanna hear you say that you never knew me at all
But that's not true
I wanted this so badly
See things change
No you just moved away
And the further you went, the less you wanted to stay
I wish I could've said something cool to make you listen
But the only thing that came to mind
Was how much I'd be missing you
And missing this
You made me swear
I always forgive you
But the simplest promises are ones that we cling to
And if I could just take one more chance and let you see through
Would you see it as love?
Would you see it for us?
So talk to me
About what, about you
What's there to talk about?
I wanna hear you say that you never knew me at all
But that's not true
I wanted this so badly
See things change
No you just moved away
And the further you went, the less you wanted to stay
I wish I could've said something cool to make you listen
But the only thing that came to mind
Was how much I'd be missing you
And missing this
And missing you
And missing this
