[Verse 1]
Cutback
Rewind
Gotta play the replay in my mind
It's a little fuzzy but I think I can make it out
Look it's me standing there with my diary
Hiding the evidence that I wrote down in period three
Could this be the moment that I have been dreaming about?

[Pre-Chorus]
But then she's there too in pink and blue
I guess all the stars align for you
And I'll take all my heart break and swallow it down
They can never find out

[Chorus]
All my life I've been hiding myself
Just waiting for a boy like you
Running home from the bus stop
Crying over stupid words from boys like you
Not answering the questions in math class
'Cause I answer them before boys like you
Promise myself when I'm older and brave
I will never love a boy like you

[Verse 2]
"I'll never love again..."
That's what I said
When I ran home and told my mum in 1997
I still remember the look on her face
She said "Boys like that should be in 2nd place
I know it hurts right now
One day you'll realise
There's no need to hide yourself from the world"
