BOY
Simplistics Lyrics

I said boy
Starting with this line, the singer addresses the person, who is referred to as boy throughout the song

I've got you on my mind
The singer cannot stop thinking about the person they are addressing

I don't know why
The singer is confused about why the person made them cry and left their love hanging in the balance

That you made me cry
The person addressed by the artist caused them emotional pain

And left our love on the line
The person put the relationship in a precarious position

You shoved it about
The person addressed is indifferent towards the relationship, treating it carelessly

And tore my heart out
The person's actions have caused severe emotional distress to the singer

And left me here to die
The artist feels as though they have been abandoned and left to suffer alone

I've been thinking of you all of the time
The artist cannot get the person out of their thoughts, even though they have caused them so much pain

I remember the day
The artist recalls a specific moment in the past

When you had to say
The person addressed needed to communicate something to the singer

Our love was fading away
The person communicated that their love was diminishing

But what could I do
The singer feels helpless to change the situation

To stop loving you
Despite the pain caused by the person addressed, the singer cannot simply stop loving them

There's no way I could change
The singer recognizes that the situation is out of their control

You'll pay the price
The artist warns the person addressed that their actions will have consequences

Someday it'll happen to you
The artist predicts that the person who caused them harm will experience the same pain

So my story is told
The singer draws a conclusion from their experience

Of love growing old
The singer reflects on a love that has faded away

And tears falling in the rain
The artist has experienced deep emotional pain

And love that is lost
The artist has lost someone they love

At such a high cost
The artist has paid a heavy price for the love they lost

And no one left to blame
The singer has come to accept that there is no one to blame for the loss of love
