Story of a Boy

[Chorus]
This is the story of a boy
I'd adore him if I had a choice
It's like he don't know I exist
But I would absolutely love it
If he was mine

[Verse 1]
Bad dates on the east side
Breaks down in the meantime
Drinks whiskey to sleep right
But it don't do the trick 'cause life is a bitch
Moved here from a small town
Fell in with the wrong crowd
I don't blame him 'cause most people suck
And then leave you crushed

[Pre-Chorus 1]
He doesn't know my name
But I could give much more
And it's such a shame
I'm sure you'vе heard it all before

[Chorus]
This is thе story of a guy
Who's holding back the tears in his eyes
He doesn't know what he deserves
But he still falls so hard, it hurts
This is the story of a boy
I'd adore him if I had a choice
It's like he don't know I exist
But I would absolutely love it
If he was mine (Oh-oh, oh, oh)
If he was mine (Oh-oh, oh, oh)

[Verse 2]
Burnt out on Hollywood
Didn't go like he thought it would
And I watch him on the internet
Tryna be happy
He wouldn't have to if he knew that he could have me

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I know it all sounds typical
He's golden, I'm invisible
He'll never know
And maybe that's just how it goes

[Chorus]
This is the story of a guy
Who's holdin' back the tears in his eyes
He doesn't know what he deserves
But he still falls so hard, it hurts
This is the story of a boy
I'd adore him if I had a choice
It's like he don't know I exist but I
Would absolutely love it
If he was mine (Oh-oh, oh, oh)
If he was mine (Oh-oh, oh, oh)

[Bridge]
And he looks so good
Walking through that door
Oh, I wish I could
Be the ending that he's looking for

[Chorus]
This is the story of a guy
Who's holdin' back the tears in his eyes
He doesn't know what he deserves
But he still falls so hard, it hurts (Oh)
This is the story of a boy
I'd adore him if I had a choice
It's like he don't know I exist but I
Would absolutely love it
If he was mine
