Boyfriend
Johnathan Pushkar Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I met her on a trip about a month ago
I had to go around the world just to find that girl
But since we got back, she seemed to disappear
We traveled the world and then she left me here

How could she do this to me? We worked so perfectly
If I knew then what I know now I wouldn't feel this way

She had a boyfriend, she didn't think to tell me before
It'd be different if she hadn't left me hoping for more
When I learned that she was taken, it was I who was mistaken,
And I only wished I knew she had a boyfriend

I went to her church cause I knew she'd be there
But I came a little late and they were out of chairs
Hoping she'd see me, I started to pray
But little did I know that she skipped church that day

How could she do this to me? We worked so perfectly
If I knew then what I know now I wouldn't feel this way

She had a boyfriend, she didn't think to tell me before
It'd be different if she hadn't left me hoping for more
When I learned that she was taken, it was I who was mistaken,
And I only wished I knew she had a boyfriend

How could she do this to me? We worked so perfectly
If I knew then what I know now I wouldn't feel this way

She had a boyfriend, she didn't think to tell me before
It'd be different if she hadn't left me hoping for more

When I learned that she was taken, it was I who was mistaken,
And I only wished I knew she had a boyfriend
