Standing here in the middle of the road
Don't know which way to go
I'm waiting on direction from you
You're alone, I hear it in your tone
You're screaming out for love
But I can't afford to answer the call
'Cause as soon as I react it backfires
I put everything on the line to be there for you
But by the time I arrive, you're never there
You're probably somewhere looking at me
Laughing at my efforts
Trying to make a fool out of me
I can't believe not a word you say
'Cause you're playing me
So the next time you text telling me you
Really need somebody, I won't be that somebody you fool
Although this time you're telling the truth
But you're just the boy who cried love
You're just the boy who cried love
You're just the boy who cried love
I hear you calling for me but
I can't answer
Out of breath
I keep running to your rescue
But your intentions untrue
Boy, you got everybody fooled
Say you love me
Say you care
But you just want me there to keep you company
And I can't keep letting you do this to me
'Cause as soon as I react it backfires
I put everything on the line to be there for you
But by the time I arrive, you're never there
You're probably somewhere looking at me
Laughing at my efforts
Trying to make a fool out of me
I can't believe not a word you say
'Cause you're playing me
So the next time you text telling me you
Really need somebody, I won't be that somebody you fool
Although this time you're telling the truth
But you're just the boy who cried love
Keep on crying, babe
'Cause you'll never change
You can run somewhere else telling the same old tale
'Cause when a liar tells the truth it's hard for him to prove
Especially 'cause you weren't there
You were somewhere looking at me
Laughing at my efforts
Trying to make a fool out of me
I can't believe not a word you say
'Cause you're playing me
So the next time you text telling me you
Really need somebody, I won't be that somebody you fool
And this time you're really telling the truth
But you're just the boy who cried love
You're just the boy who cried love
You're just the boy who cried love
I won't answer, no
I won't answer no more
