​build a boy

Lyrics

[Intro: emlyn] (B-build a, b-build a, b-build a boy) (B-build a, b-build a, b-build a boy) [Verse 1: emlyn] I'd take Noah's heart, let him keep his body Nick, I'd take his brain so his love can't haunt me Only taking Daniel's eyes He can keep his hands though now So they can't touch me to say they're "Sorry" [Pre-Chorus: emlyn] Furiously searching for the perfect fucking guy He doesn't exist but, God, imagine my design [Chorus: emlyn] If I could build a boy, I'd hit a full 180º Build a boy, not a baby Build a boy, that wouldn't call me crazy If I had a choice, I'd build a boy I'd make him so amazing Build a boy, not a baby Fill the void of all the ones who drained me If I had a choice, pick a toy, I would build a boy [Verse 2: Cloudy June] I'd keep Aaron's soul, but I'd cut the ego Give him Mary's eyes and John's physique, yeah I'll make him know my body like Diana He would be so pretty make it hard for me to breathe [Pre-Chorus: emlyn, Cloudy June] Furiously searching for the perfect fucking guy He doesn't exist but, God imagine my design [Chorus: emlyn, Cloudy June, both] If I could build a boy, I'd hit a full 180º Build a boy, not a baby Build a boy, that wouldn't call me crazy If I had a choice, I'd build a boy I'd make him so amazing Build a boy, not a baby Fill the void of all the ones who drained me If I had a choice, pick a toy, I would build a boy [Post-Chorus: emlyn] B-build a, b-build a, b-build a boy B-build a, b-build a, b-build a boy B-build a, b-build a, b-build a boy B-build a, b-build a, b-build a boy [Bridge: emlyn] Every time I wonder why he's perfect then he hurts me Then I find another guy who just doesn't deserve me Disappointed, scared to death I'll never find my match Why get mad when I could build another one from scratch? (No) [Chorus: emlyn] If I could build a boy, I'd hit a full 180º Build a boy, not a baby Build a boy, that wouldn't call me crazy If I had a choice (If I had a choice), I'd build a boy I'd make him so amazing (Woah) Build a boy, not a baby Fill the void of all the ones who drained me (Boy) (Woah) If I had a choice, pick a toy, I would build a boy [Post-Chorus: emlyn] B-build a, b-build a, b-build a boy (Woah) B-build a, b-build a, b-build a boy (Woah) B-build a, b-build a, b-build a boy (Woah) B-build a, b-build a, b-build a boy
