They say they’re gonna love you to the end of time
But they’re not, no they’re not
They say they’re gonna try to keep an open mind
But they’re not, no they’re not
And they’ll promise kids
And they’ll promise love
They’ll try to teach you things, things you already know
Boyfriends
Try to sing you songs about the open skies
But they’re not, no they’re not
Write you letters saying that their gonna die
But they’re not, no they’re not
And they might need a pet
They might need a mom
They’re gonna come with threats
About you staying young
Let's get you out of here
Let's get you out of here
There's no need my dear
Let's get you out of here
They say they’ll try to release you from the golden smile
But they’re not, no they’re not
They say their gonna keep you from dramatic cries
But they’re not, no they’re not
And they’ll become their dicks
Puke on your heart
They’re gonna make you sick
It’s gonna get real dark
Let's get you out of here
Let's get you out of here
There's no need my dear
Let's get you out of here
Boyfriends
