This Boy

This is to you, the girl who replaced me much too fast
I just want to let you know, the past is in the past
I promise I don't hate you, I don't know why I would
I don't even know your name, and if he loves you, good.

I just wanted to share with you some facts about this boy
You see, he's really special, and this time is something to enjoy
His smile can light up a room like absolutely no one else's can
And there are a few things I thought you might need to understand.

He’s the playful kind, and he'll do anything to make you laugh
He’ll offer you free massages, and give a million piggy-backs
He’ll love to see you smile, so if you have a problem
He’ll do his best to fix it, and never be afraid to tell him.

He likes his punk-rock music, and he turns it way up high
But he'll sing you love songs late at night that'll make you cry
And when you feel like giving up, like you're the most insignificant girl
He’ll make you feel so special...that boy has a way with words.

Sometimes he may be quiet, but only when he's deep in thought
Don’t mistake him to be angry, because he's usually not
He’s understanding and considerate, and he wouldn't ever dare
To hurt you or to make you feel wronged, because the truth is, he cares.

He won't forget your anniversary; he's good with things like that
He’ll remember it down to the hour, and he won't let you forget
He’ll give you twelve red roses and some poems he wrote for you
And then he'll tell you that he loves you, and every word will be true.

But this boy, he's a sensitive one, the kind who can't bear pain
And trust me, if you hurt him, he won't come crawling back again
See, I learned from my mistakes, and I just wanted you to know
There’s no one else quite like this boy…never let him go.
