Edwin McCain

The Boy Who Cried Love

All that infatuations and sweet obsessions before

They fill me up for a selfish moment

And I made them out to be more than they were

Now I'm paying, but throwing it around

I go unheard with what I'm saying

It's finally profound and you're sick of the sound

Of the boy who cried love

Nobody came running all the false alarms still hovering

Loved too many times too carelessly

And now it's true and you don't believe me

What can I do to change how you see me?

Don't want to know that kind of lonely

The boy who cried love, love... love

I'm sweeping up all those promises

That I will never make again

They were the kind you tell a trusting heart

They were just designed to win

Now it's you and I'm sorry, don't let me become

The star of the story have you heard the one

About the boy who cried love

Nobody came running all the false alarms still hovering

Loved too many times too carelessly

And now it's true and you don't believe me

What can I do to change how you see me?

Don't want to know that kind of lonely

Boy who cried love, love... love

We all want to be amazed, romanticized through the smokey haze,

Stings our eyes, steals the days of you...

And the boy who cried love

Nobody came running all the false alarms still hovering

Loved too many times too carelessly

And now it's true and you don't believe me

What can I do to change how you see me?

Don't want to know that kind of lonely

Boy who cried love, boy who cried love
