i met a boy online - Grace Davies

I met a boy online

We talk all the time

He lives in my city

And tells me I’m pretty

Does he know he lies?

I met a boy online

I wish he was mine

But it’s just a distraction

It won’t ever happen

He’s wasting his time

'Cause what if he sees me in person

And hates me like I do?

He’ll pretend that it’s not true

But it’s always the same

Then I’ll lie in my bed

And go cry to my friends

It’s a routine

'Cause why would he want me

When I am this way?

Oh, why would he want me

I met a boy online

He calls every night

Right when I need him

And I get a feeling

He’s reading my mind

And maybe he’ll find out

What’s feeding my doubt

See, I’ve never felt wanted

If I’m being honest

I don’t know how

And what if he sees me in person

And hates me like I do?

He’ll pretend that it’s not true

But it’s always the same

Then I’ll lie in my bed

And go cry to my friends

It’s a routine

'Cause why would he want me

When I am this way?

Oh

I wish I could let you inside

Let you love me

Let you love me, oh-oh

I wish I could change up my mind

And let you love me

Let you love me, oh oh

But what if he sees me in person

And hates me like I do?

Don’t pretend that it’s not true

It’s always the same

Then I’ll lie in my bed

And go cry to my friends

It’s a routine

'Cause why would he want me

When I am this way?

Oh

Why would he want me?

Why would he want me?

Why would he want me?
