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 that 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
