"just a boy" lyrics

I think you're the one
That's how I see it
I keep holding on
And make myself believe it
Build it up in my head
And write you love letters
'Cause you are so good
But I deserve better

You're just a boy
There's not much more to it
You're just a fantasy
That I kept making up
Until it got ruined
You're just a boy
You are just validation
Why would I let you take control?

You're just a boy
You're like any other
You're just a boy
Won't make me any better
I spent all of my nights
And my nerves
And my hopes
To be seen, to be felt, to be wanted
And just to be yours
I wanted you to be it all

But you're just a boy
Now that I see it
You're just a melody
That I heard once
And automatically repeated
But you're just a boy
You are just inspiration
No, I won't let you take control

You're just a boy
You're like any other
You're just a boy
Won't make me any better
I spent all of my nights
And my nerves
And my hopes
To be seen, to be felt, to be wanted
And just to be yours
I wanted you to be it all

(You're just a)
You're
Just
A
Boy

You're just a boy
