Boys

They say boys only know who they love when they're ready
And girls will hang on for dear life
They'll wake up one day and decide who they'll marry
But girls hope their first love will make them their wife

Then he found somebody, nothing like me
And she got the ring and the cute family
Could never have known that it wouldn't be me
I don't think he knew either, the reason he chose her

It's just the right timing, she was right there
It wouldn't have mattered if I was prepared
A boy doesn't care for the fun or the rare
He chose to be ready, the moment that I wasn't there

They say boys only process the heartache much later
And girls will be broken that day
And they always come back when you're finally healing
And girls always give all the chances it takes

Then he found somebody, isn't it strange
That she got the love and the bricks that I laid?
Could never have known I was paving the way
For him to be ready, oh, isn't it funny?

It's just the right timing, she was right there
It wouldn't have mattered if I was prepared
A boy doesn't care for the fun or the rare
He chose to be ready, the moment that I wasn't there

There, there, I said it there
There, I was unprepared
There, guess I'm not so rare
When I was right there, there
There, there, I'll be okay
There, there, she doesn't know I'm here
Here, I'll try to not compare
When I was right there

It's just the right timing, she was right there
It wouldn't have mattered if I was prepared
A boy doesn't care for the fun or the rare
He chose to be ready, the moment that I wasn't there
