Things I Would Do For A Boy

I listened to his mixtapes
I played all his favourite games
Albeit boring but I mustn't complain
My ears and eyes bled
I would purposely leave words unsaid
I let myself be so seriously misled

I'm a smart girl
Pretending not to be
I'm a stupid one
I'm totally make-believe
I'll be anything, anyone
I've so many oscars under my bed
I'll be everything, what you really want
Until I'm not what you really wanted
I'm a smart girl but I'll stop if that's not what you enjoy
Oh, all of the things I would do for a boy

I'm fixing all his mistakes
I betrayed my strength to fall into his space
Albeit I'm bored and he doesn't understand what I say
I repeat and I repeat
I still purposely leave words to history
I let myself be so hurt by nothing

I'm a smart girl
Pretending not to be
I'm a stupid one
I'm totally make-believe
I'll be anything, anyone
I've so many oscars under my bed
I'll be everything, what you really want
Until I'm not what you really wanted
I'm a smart girl but I'll stop if that's not what you enjoy
Oh, all of the things I would do for a boy

I stayed up on torturous nights
Defended your act to all my friends
And I talk about you like they talk about God
But when I'm alone I reflect on his flaws
I'm twisting the story to make the amends
I give him my all and he doesn't notice
I've given my all and I'm stretching thin
I give up but I won't walk away from him

I'm a smart girl
Pretending not to be
I'm a stupid one
I'm totally make-believe
I'll be anything, anyone
I've so many oscars under my bed
I'll be everything, what you really want
Until I'm not what you really wanted
I'm a smart girl but I'll stop if that's not what you enjoy
Oh, the things I would do for a boy
