The Boy Who Cried Love - Edwin Mccain

Oh, I’ve had infatuations

And sweet obsessions before

They filled me up for a selfish moment

And I made them out to be more than they were

And now I’m paying for throwing it around

I go unheard when what I’m saying

Is finally profound and you’re sick of the sound

Of the boy who cried love

And nobody came running

All the false alarms still hovering

Love, too many times carelessly

But now it’s true and you don’t believe me

What can I do to change how you see me?

Don’t want to know that kind of lonely

The boy who cried love

I’m sweeping up all those promises

That I will never make again

They weren’t the kind you tell a trusting heart

They were just designed to win

Now it’s you and I’m sorry

Don’t let me become

The star of the story

Have you heard the one?

About the boy who cried love

And nobody came running

All the false alarms still hovering

Love, too many times carelessly

But now it’s true and you don’t believe me

What can I do to change how you see me?

Don’t want to know that kind of lonely

The boy who cried love, love, love

We all want to be amazed

Romanticized through the smokey haze

It stings our eyes and steals the days of you

And the boy who cried love

And nobody came running

All the false alarms still hovering

Love, too many times carelessly

But now it’s true and you don’t believe me

What can I do to change how you see me?

Don’t want to know that kind of lonely

The boy who cried love, the boy who cried love
