Alyssa Jacey - Choosing Boys

I buried my face
In my silk pillow case
And drank about eight bottles of wine
Yeah, the first month was Hell
It wasn't so going well
This pain was never a plan of mine

Then, slowly, the days passed by, and I quickly came to realize

The issue hasn't been finding
A way out of stuck
The problem has never been purely bad luck
It's who I've been choosin', the only solution
Is going another way
I'll be disappointed
For rest of my days
If I don't pick a new path and make a change
Could stay in a playpen and tinker with toys
Or start dating real men
And quit choosing boys
Quit choosing boys

Been running a race
Streaming tears down my face
Can't remember a night when I wasn't crying
Yeah, those first months were Hell
They only got worse and I could never tell
Was I gonna survive
Or end up dyin'

Then, slowly, the days passed by, and I quickly came to realize

The issue hasn't been finding
A way out of stuck
The problem has never been purely bad luck
It's who I've been choosin', the only solution
Is going another way
I'll be disappointed
For rest of my days
If I don't pick a new path and make a change
Could stay in a playpen and tinker with toys
Or start dating real men
And quit choosing boys
Quit choosing boys

You see, it's like this
The first boy I kissed
And just about all of 'em since
Have had a sleeve full of tricks, yeah
I'd fall like a ton of bricks
Heavy and fast
Praying maybe this would be the one that would last
Cast a net on my hopeful heart
Taking advantage
I'm smarter now
So, I won't allow
Puttin' up with their antics
I can't stand it
The games are for kids
And I'm a woman on a mission with a life to live
I wanna give away mine
And capture a heart
Take the path of least resistance
Right from the start

Cuz I know love is an ocean of the deepest blue
So, find your shade, and ride the wave
All the way through
For all the ladies out there
Needing advice

The issue will never be finding, a way out of stuck
The problem will never be purely bad luck
It's who we've been choosin'
The only solution
Is going another way
I'm finally LIVING
The BEST of my days
Paved a new path and made a change
Got out of the playpen
Away from the toys
Started dating real men
REAL men
And quit choosing boys
Quit choosing boys
Quit choosing boys
Quit choosing boys, yeah
I QUIT CHOOSING BOYS
