Hank Green - Dead Boy's Girlfriend lyrics

People always told me that it
Hurts to be in love
There's nothing we can do but
Pray to god above
I've heard a lot of stories that all end sad
But nothing I've heard sounds quite this bad
It's hard enough when love is unrequited
But what do you do when her boyfriend's dead

She was the first girl
Who ever made me fall in love
I just took too long to ask her
To the freaking yule ball
Hair like silk and eyes aglow
And she looked so pretty
In her schoolgirl robes and skin
Like porcelain
But she's a dead boy's girlfriend
She's a dead boy's girlfriend
I gulped down my Gillyweed and
Jumped into the lake
Not knowing who the masters of
The tournament would take
I dodged the merpeople and the grindylow
And saw three pretty girls there
Floating in a row
But it was freaking Ron Weasley
Who was waiting for me
She was the prize for Cedric Diggory

She was the first girl
Who ever made me fall in love
I just took too long to ask her
To the freaking yule ball
Hair like silk and eyes aglow
And she looked so pretty
In her schoolgirl robes and skin
Like porcelain
But she's a dead boy's girlfriend
She's a dead boy's girlfriend

On that fateful night Cedric and I
We finished that maze at the very same time
We grabbed the cup together
To share the glory
I thought maybe he could share
Something else with me
But a minute later he was dead
And you could never want to
Be with me instead
Never want to be with me instead
She was the first girl
Who ever made me fall in love
I just took too long to ask her
To the freaking yule ball
Hair like silk and eyes aglow
And she looked so pretty
In her schoolgirl robes and skin
Like porcelain
But she's a dead boy's girlfriend
She's a dead boy's girlfriend

Now it seems that all I make you do is cry
I can never snog you and it's no secret why
He's still there between us
Even though he's gone
Cheating on a dead guy is so very wrong
I'm sure that you will have a very nice life
But, you'll probably have to be
Some boring muggle's wife

She was the first girl
Who ever made me fall in love
I just took too long to ask her
To the freaking yule ball
Hair like silk and eyes aglow
And she looked so pretty
In her schoolgirl robes and skin
Like porcelain
But she's a dead boy's girlfriend
She's a dead boy's girlfriend
