[Verse 1]
Left my hoodie on your chair
You said keep it
Then you stared
Through me like I wasn't there
Guess that was my warning
Watched your shadow down the street
Hands in pockets
Dragging feet
Kicked a stone
It felt like me
Cracked open by the morning
[Chorus]
I was just a boy
You were already gone
Holding onto words you’d emptied out and thrown
You kissed me on the head like I was something small
Built me up with promises
Then never called at all
I was just a boy
You were already gone
[Verse 2]
All our photos in a stack
Folded corners
Coffee black
Your old letter in my bag
I read it when I miss you
Told my friends I’m doing fine (I’m fine)
Changed your name a hundred times
In my phone
But every chime
Still sounds like I’m gonna lose you
[Chorus]
I was just a boy
You were already gone
Holding onto words you’d emptied out and thrown
You kissed me on the head like I was something small
Built me up with promises
Then never called at all
I was just a boy
You were already gone
[Bridge]
Did you mean it when you said
“I’ve never felt this way”?
Or was I just something new
To pass another day? (oh)
Now I’m counting ceiling cracks
Like the reasons you won’t text back
Trying not to hate the way
You taught my heart to break
[Chorus]
I was just a boy
You were already gone
Holding onto words you’d emptied out and thrown
You kissed me on the head like I was something small
Built me up with promises
Then let me watch it fall
I was just a boy
Now the boy you knew is gone
