Cute Boys With Short Haircuts

Seems like one of those "Where did I go wrong?" days

Can't stop crying and I guess I'm not so strong days

Lost the only guy I ever had

It's been one of those "seems-like-I've-been-scarred" years

Can't get out of bed and life is kinda hard years

No one ever made me feel so sad

Now all I see are cute boys

With short haircuts walking by in a blur

And all I see is him and me

The way we always were

That's how it goes when cute boys with short haircuts

Set your senses astir

He says he's true then ditches you for her

When you find a man you don't wanna share him

But there's someone always thinking she can snare him

Laying out the perfect little trap

You can play it safe sure you got a smart plan

Soon it's just another "love-can-fall-apart" plan

Guess sometimes we all could use a map

To steer us through

The cute boys with short haircuts

In a maze of their own

And here I am a little lamb I'm so lost and all alone

Outnumbered by the cute boys with short haircuts

Sitting high on some throne

I'm here below unseen and so unknown

There was a time when everyone would notice me

Before whatever strength I had was gone

I'd die for things to be the way they used to be

But nothing stops the world from moving on

And nothing stops the cute boys with short haircuts

Who surround me each day

I'm not so grand or in demand

Or "pretty" like they say

Not pretty like the cute boys with short haircuts

With the games that they play

The games of all the cute boys with broad shoulders

Loving all they survey and loving being cute boys

With low voices and low morals and no interest

Cute boys with short haircuts

Never looking my way

So here I sit and that's how it will stay

Thanks to shattered trust and some slight disgust

No more cute boys with short haircuts

And I guess that's just okay
