Like a Boy

You make we want to take a permanent marker to my bedroom wall

Or write your name on my forehead, the stares would remind me as I walked

And I knew I had nowhere to go so I went back to my mama's place

Said what do you do when the ship goes down, the king lost his crown so he ran away

She told me take the scissors out my hands

You don’t cut hair like that over a man

She told me once she won’t say it again

I’m stronger than he’s ever been

The castle we lived in was destroyed

He blocked his ears to cover all the noise

Told me he’s a man but he ran like a boy

Used to look at me like I should hold my breath every time I talk

But couldn’t wait to hold my hand like I’m some trophy he could show off

And it was dangerous living on the edge but there we were, babe

Till the house burned down when no one was around so I copped the blame

She told me take the scissors out my hands

You don’t cut hair like that over a man

She told me once she won’t say it again

I’m stronger than he’s ever been

The castle we lived in was destroyed

He blocked his ears to cover all the noise

Told me he’s a man but he ran like a boy

Oh, oh, like a boy

Oh, oh, like a boy

So I took your keys and my sanity

Left your lies in the rear view

I never meant it when I said I loved you too

If I looked in the mirror then all I would see is you looking at yourself, baby

'Cause you're a grade A narcissist, can't love nobody else

So babe, I took the scissors out my hands

You don’t cut hair like this over a man

You won’t find a girl like me ever again

Yeah, I'm stronger than you've ever been

The ruins we lived in are full of ghosts

Your shadow haunts you when you're all alone

I’m doing better now that’s what hurts you most

Oh oh, like a boy (Like a boy)

Oh oh, like a boy (Oh)

Oh oh, like a boy (He ran, he ran, he ran)

Oh oh, like a boy
