Boy
Nina Nesbitt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could say you're a bit way lead boy.
Where is my heart with you?
I could say I left it on the floor boy,
Are you gonna pick it up, pick it up? (Hey, Hey)
Things kinda got dark with you,
I drunk your love up too quick boy.
Don't ask me, that's something that you destroyed,
'Cause now we're burnin' up, burnin' up, burnin' up. (Hey, Hey)
Flames race like cars in a haste,
Tears in my eyes but not down my face
This was a waste, this was a waste. (Woah oh oh oh oh)
A shame to embrace the love that we faced,
Hours were days when I was in you grace
This was a waste, this was a waste. (Woah oh oh oh oh)
Well I'm sorry to be honest but this love is no good boy
And I'm sorry you're drunk on it, but it's making me annoyed.
Heart broken, heart breaker, that's me I accept it, I get the point
But stop jumping into fountains just to pick up all the coins.
We were rushed, we had no foundations
Explanations were never settled first.
I guess when building something special
You should always use ground work
'Cause now we're falling down, falling down. (Hey, Hey)
I could blame you for a lot
But I guess it was me that let us drop.
You go crying to your friends now
And I'm left looking not so hot,
But now we're burnin' up, burnin' up, burnin' up. (Hey, Hey)
Flames race like cars in a haste,
Tears in my eyes but not down my face
This was a waste, this was a waste (Woah oh oh oh oh)
A shame to embrace the love that we faced,
Hours were days when I was in you grace
This was a waste, this was a waste (Woah oh oh oh oh)
Well I'm sorry to be honest but this love is no good boy
And I'm sorry you're drunk on it, but it's making me annoyed.
Heart broken, heart breaker, that's me I accept it, I get the point
But stop jumping into fountains just to pick up all the coins.
Let you walk all over me,
Leave your footprints on my heart
T'is becoming clear to see
It's been like this from the start.
Let you walk all over me,
Leave your footprints on my heart
T'is becoming clear to see
It's been like this from the start.
Well I'm sorry to be honest but this love is no good boy
And I'm sorry you're drunk on it, but it's making me annoyed.
Heart broken, heart breaker, that's me I accept it, I get the point
But stop jumping into fountains just to pick up all the coins.
And I'm sorry
To be honest
But this love is no good boy.
This love is no good boy.
And I'm sorry
To be honest, to be honest,
But this love is no good
Boy.
The song "Boy" by Nina Nesbitt addresses the struggles of a toxic relationship that has taken a turn for the worse. The singer seems to be taking responsibility for her part in the failure of the relationship, but she is also aware of the damage that the other person hhas done to her by breaking her heart. The song speaks to the idea that relationships can be a waste of time if they are not built on solid foundations of trust and respect.
The singer opens the song by asking where to begin with the boy and admits he has led her astray. She wonders where her heart is with him and questions if he will pick up the pieces of her broken heart. The lyric "Things kinda got dark with you, I drunk your love up too quick boy" demonstrates that the girl dove headfirst into a passionate relationship only to realize that it ultimately led to destruction.
The chorus speaks to the reality that the relationship is burning up and flames are racing like cars in a race. The lyrics "Hours were days when I was in your grace" shows that she was deeply invested in the love that was quickly destroyed. She takes ownership of the mistakes but does not forget the pain and disappointment caused by the other person. In the end, she concludes that this love is no good and admits that she was left heartbroken.
