You said it never counted
I hope you're feeling bad about it, oh
Can't believe I never doubted that you'd always think of me
I thought of you so differently
I love the way you drive
Riding shotgun at your side
Love thinking on those times
But that just isn't worth the hurt you put me through and that's the truth
I had a dream about it
Back when you said sorry
But I know better than to take apologies from people who don't mean them
And momma told me
To stay away from boys like you
'Cause I know they will only leave me blue
I know maybe that you're hurting too
But I've gotta do what I've gotta do
Stay away, stay away from boys like
Stay away, stay away from boys like
Stay away, stay away from boys like
And that's the trouble with it
You'll never admit that's what it was
You needed me to touch you
But that's not enough when you have options causing problems
Pretended not to see
Until the blame landed on me
I need it to be honest
Just in case they all forgot and you got off with nothing lost
You don't seem to comprehend
It's helpful to pretend
And messing with someone else's feelings
And now I'm finding time away for healing
To stay away from boys like you
'Cause I know they will only leave me blue
I know maybe that you're hurting too
But I've gotta do what I've gotta do
Stay away, stay away from boys like
Stay away, stay away from boys like
Stay away, stay away from boys like
Give myself all kinds of rules
But it's so hard to follow through
When your loving feels so good
You just won't act like you should
I'll stay away from boys like you
'Cause I know they will only leave me blue
I know maybe that you're hurting too
But I've gotta do what I've gotta do
Stay away, stay away from boys like
Stay away, stay away from boys like
Stay away, stay away from boys like
