I Kissed A Boy Lyrics

I kissed a boy

I wanted to try it

It wasn't nice

It wasn't romantic

If he thought I was pretty I didn't know it

If I was uneasy he didn't notice

I went to a concert

I stare at the bassist

He doesn't see me

I bear it with grace then

I go home and dream of taking his place

But the lights wash me out

I don't look the same

Oh there's rot in my head

It grows and grows and grows

Does a desperate mind ever mend?

I don't know, I don't know, but I hope

That there's love I can find before I get too tired

What I would give to be worth someone's time

To feel hands on my arms and eyes on my face

To say things out loud, to have him listening

But no man's ever touched me like he'd ever care

The bassist he'd kiss me, leave me standing there

Still I would call out to him, so unaware

That I'm not who I should be

He won't see who I could be

Oh

Oh if I shed parts of myself will I be easier to hold?

Oh if I let decay break me down

Break its way into my soul

Will something about it turn me into someone he wants to know?

Cause I'll try it

I'll breathe in

And if he grabs me

I won't let go
