I think I could understand

How it feels to love a girl

I swear I(be) …………………… a better man

I (listen) ………………………………. to her

'Cause I know how it hurts

When you lose the one you wanted

'Cause he's taking you for granted

And everything you had got destroyed

If I (be) ……………….. a boy

I ……………….. (turn) off my phone

Tell everyone it's broken

So they'd think that I was sleeping alone

I'd put myself first

And make the rules as I go

'Cause I know that she'd be faithful

Waiting for me to come home

To come home...
